Print Periodical on Web (MLA)

Worksheet Description

The worksheet presented is an instructional tool designed to teach students how to cite articles from print periodicals that are available on the web, following the MLA (Modern Language Association) citation guidelines. The title “Print Periodical on Web (MLA)” indicates the specific focus of the exercise, which is to help students accurately reference articles from print periodicals that are accessed online. The worksheet provides a clear template for the students to fill in with the necessary details for a citation, such as the author’s name, article title, periodical title, volume and number, date of the periodical, and the URL.

Each citation template is followed by a section labeled “Write the Citation:” where students can transcribe their filled-in details into a complete MLA citation. This step reinforces the structure and format of an MLA citation and allows students to practice including all the necessary information. Two such templates are provided, enabling students to practice this skill multiple times. The worksheet is designed to encourage meticulousness and precision in documenting sources, which are essential skills for academic integrity and writing.
