Learning the MLA Citation Style

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.
("Roddenberry Legacy")   [Article or web page with no author and with no page numbers]
Bibliography - summary of basic information required:


Author Last Name, First Name.  "Title of Article/Entry" Title of Book/Periodical  City: Publisher Volume Nº (Date)  Pages Format:Print/Web  Date of Access (website)

This varies according to the kind of source (book, newspaper, website)
