Introduction to MLA and APA Formatting

In the last blog post, I posted the information for MLA formatting.  On block day of this week, we reviewed MLA formatting, and then we looked at some of the differences between MLA and APA formatting. All of your English classes use MLA formatting, whereas the social sciences (like psychology) use APA formatting. Therefore, I want to expose you to both formats, but I will only be testing you on the MLA format.

To understand the differences between MLA and APA, we watched the following video and took notes. Click here to download today's handout. The handout goes right along with the video in the same order.

Here's the video:

After the video notes, there's a Scavenger Hunt to complete with the Purdue Owl website. The written directions on the handout should contain all the information you need to complete this assignment.
