MLA Lesson #2: Parenthetical Citations, Paraphrasing, & Integrating Quotes

THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED TO MLA 8TH EDITION!

This presentation covers MLA Format for parenthetical citations, and it also includes instruction on integrating quotes and paraphrasing. This presentation goes along perfectly with my worksheet/quiz/test on MLA Exercises: Parenthetical Citations, Integrating Quotes, and Paraphrasing. Check out my store for a preview of it as well!

This presentation only covers parenthetical citations and not all of MLA Formatting because I teach it in three different segments. Learning MLA is extremely frustrating and overwhelming to students, I've noticed. Therefore, several years ago, I broke MLA down into three parts: (1) setting up a basic document, (2) using parenthetical citations, integrating quotes, and paraphrasing, and (3) creating a works cited page. I've found that not only do my students understand it better now that they digest MLA in smaller parts, but also they do not seem as overwhelmed and confused.

If you would like to purchase all of my MLA materials, see my store. I have two other lesson bundles: MLA Lesson #1 Formatting Documents in MLA and MLA Lesson #3 Works Cited Pages in MLA Format. I also have my entire MLA Unit, which includes all of my presentations, worksheets, quizzes, and an MLA Test. For those who only want individual presentations and worksheets or only want to purchase the test, I also have those files available in my store.

NOTE: This lesson bundle includes the PowerPoint presentation. At the recommendation of my customers, I zipped the bundle and presentation together.
