Change Samuel Clemens to MLA Style

Open the "Samuel Clemens" unbound report (Pg. 70 in text). This document was formatted using the APA Style. It included a Cover (Title) Page and a Reference Page. Today we will reformat the document into the MLA Style. Refer to Page 4 in your Planner.

Save the document as Sam Clemens MLA in your Basic Formats folder.

No title page is submitted with MLA.  Delete this page. (Insert Ribbon, Cover Page, Remove Cover Page)

MLA uses a specific header. Open the header.  Put your cursor before the page number and key in your last name. There should be a space after your last name before the page number. Make sure you are using Times New Roman font.

Put your cursor on the first line (the beginning of the document). Enter the following...double spaced:

Your Name
My Name
Word Processing/Internet Basics
31 January 2014

Remove any excess spaces...the title "SAMUEL CLEMENS" begins a DS below the date.

Highlight "SAMUEL CLEMENS" Click the "Change Case" button on the Home ribbon...make Samuel Clemens initial caps.

Remove the bold from both main heading and sub heading.

Remove all the bold from the side headings. Number each side heading: MLA call these section headings:
1. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
2. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Note the internal citations: In MLA, the year is not used. This can be deleted along with the , inside the quotes. Because the report cites two sources from the same author, the web title is required. However, the author's last name is not required.  Delete "Railton."  The citation only includes the web title.  Because it is a web site, there are no page numbers.

You have now updated the format to the MLA style. This is the format required by your English teachers. Always check with the teacher assigning the report regarding style and layout.

Works Cited:

APA uses "References" as it's title for the bibliography. MLA uses "Works Cited" as its title. Open the Internet. Go to easybib.com. Copy and paste (or re-key) the url for the first reference. If it doesn't find it, that means you have a typo. Check your accuracy.

Scroll down and fill in the blanks that are highlighted RED. (Author's name, date). Add additional citation.

Check the citations to be included in the Works Cited, Scroll down. Export as Word Document...YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER.

Enter your name in the footer. Save this in your Word Processing folder as Works Cited.

Print both report and works cited. Staple and submit.
