Websites (MLA)

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is tailored to assist students in the practice of creating MLA (Modern Language Association) citations for online sources. The header “Websites (MLA)” clearly indicates the focus of the activity, which is to guide students through the process of properly citing web articles. This practice will familiarize them with the MLA format that is widely used in academic writing. The worksheet is structured to provide a clear and methodical approach to citing digital content.

The template provided on the worksheet outlines the various components required for a complete citation of a web source. Students are directed to fill in the blanks with the author’s name, the title of the article in quotation marks, the title of the site in italics, the volume and number, the publisher or sponsor of the site, the date of posting or the latest update, and the URL enclosed in angled brackets. Below the template, there is a space labeled “Write the Citation:” where students can compose the full citation integrating all the information they have gathered. This practical application is key to understanding how to accurately credit sources found online.
