Print Periodicals (MLA)

Worksheet Description

This instructional worksheet is designed to aid students in learning how to properly cite articles from print periodicals using MLA (Modern Language Association) guidelines. It is titled “Print Periodicals (MLA)” and serves to practice the structured composition of bibliographic entries. The students are guided to fill in the blanks with relevant information including the author’s name, the title of the article in quotation marks, the title of the periodical in italics, the print date of the periodical using the day-month-year format, and the page numbers where the article can be found.

After providing the necessary details in the template, the students are expected to write out the full citation in the space labeled “Write the Citation:” located below each template. This hands-on approach solidifies the student’s understanding of MLA formatting by translating the gathered information into a complete and correctly punctuated citation. This worksheet is an effective educational resource for reinforcing proper citation practices, which is a crucial skill in academic integrity and writing.
