Document their work using appropriate conventions (MLA)
Throughout the semester I have learned how to properly use MLA format in my writing. In the screenshot below for paper 1, I was a little confused on the formatting for in text citations still because I wasn’t taught much about the citation formats in high school. I started to get the hang of it towards the end of the semester, but still had some issues on my works cited page although I don’t know what I need to fix considering all it says it needs work and that it needs to be on a separate page which it was. I think I need to look up some different methods on how to properly cite in MLA and other formats so that in the future if when I write other papers that doesn’t take points off since it should be something very easy to accomplish. Another thing I am still confused about was from paper 2 to paper 3 I changed the things that I was asked to do in the comments, but they were still wrong. I wasn’t sure, like I said about the formatting because it’s a very vague comment. I’m guessing it’s the font or just the citations in general, but again, I’m going to have to look into it some more.
Paper 1: I had some formatting issues in within my paper while using quotes. I did not use correct MLA format after introducing the quotes. Next time I will just write the authors last name and not the date as well so it follows the MLA format.
For my works cited I followed the MLA format, but centered the whole thing instead of just the title.
Paper 2: I corrected the issues in the second paper with the formatting of MLA within my paper. I still need to work on the formatting of my works cited page by making sure it’s on it’s own page and the formatting of it. They cannot be centered which they are so next time I will make sure they are not.
