For your essay "The 5 Themes of Geography in your Region" you must have parenthetical references within the text itself indicating where you got each piece of information, AND a bibliography of all the sources used (full citations listed together at the end properly written according to MLA citation style guidelines).
Parenthetical references -
The sources that you use should be cited in the text of your paper, either in a parentheses or as part of the text itself:
- During the turbulent 1960s, science fiction programs on television reflected the public's attitudes toward the older generation (Hodges 179).
- Hodges discussed how, during the turbulent 1960s, science fiction programs on television reflected the public's attitudes toward the older generation (179).
- Put the parentheses before a period, semicolon, or comma in order to avoid disrupting the flow of the sentence. If you are referring to the entire source in a general way, you may leave out the page numbers.
- (Devine and Sherman 156-57)
- (Kirk, Spock, and McCoy 1701)
- (Vulcan Reflections 63-66) [Book with no author] Longer titles should be shortened to the first word or two.
