I want to see the part of speech and the complete definition . Plagiarize : VERB : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source intransitive verb : to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source 2. Use Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary and define parenthetical. I want to see the part of speech and the complete definition . Parenthetical : ADJECTIVE : of, relating to, or expressed in a parenthesis 3. What is the most current edition of the MLA handbook? The current edition of the MLA handbook is the 9 th edition. 4. In addition to the MLA handbook, where can you go to find additional instructions and resources for writing and formatting academic papers? The MLA Style Center , a website that provides additional instruction and resources for writing and formatting academic papers. https://style.mla.org/ 5. List the nine (9) MLA general guidelines for formatting an academic paper. 1. Author, 2. Title of Source, 3. Title of Container, 4. Contributor, 5. Version, 6. Number, 7. Publisher, 8. Publication Date, 9. Location 6. The title of your essay should be in Title Case. TRUE FALSE 7. Describe what MLA Section Headings are and how they are used. Section headings include individual chapters or other named parts of a book or essay to improve a document’s readability. MLA recommends that when you divide an essay into sections that you number those sections with an Arabic number and a period followed by a space and the section name. 8. Define in-text citation and its purpose. An in-text citation is a brief reference in your text that indicates the source you consulted. It should direct readers to the entry in your works0cited list for that source. 9. What format does MLA follow for in-text citations? Provide an example in your answer. MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must 1

EN 111-04-Writing Composition Instructor: Ms. Coker PURDUE OWL MLA FORMATTING AND STYLE GUIDE (9 th Edition) STUDY GUIDE –50 points appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear in your works-cited page. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263). 10. Regarding in-text citations, how do you cite two different authors with the same last name? Provide an example as part of your answer. Make sure that your in-text citations refer unambiguously to the entry in your works-cited list. If you are citing from the works of two different authors with the same last name, include the author’s first initial in your reference). Although some medical ethicists claim that cloning will lead to designer children (R. Miller 12), others note that the advantages for medical research outweigh this consideration (A. Miller 46). 11. MLA has rules on how to cite the Bible. TRUE FALSE 12. Define indirect source , and how is it cited? How should a “responsible researcher” / student handle an indirect source? An indirect source is a source cited in another source. For such indirect quotations, use “qtd. in“ to indicate the source you actually consulted. This is illustrated in the first example on this slide. Note that, in most cases, a responsible researcher will attempt to find the original source, rather than citing an indirect source. 13. Define time-based media . Can music/podcast/audio books/YouTube videos be considered time-based media? Time-based media is media that is a video that can be cited with time or ranges of time. Music, podcasts, audio books, and YouTube videos can all be considered time-based media. 14. Describe in-text citations for “Works in time-based media.” What should be included? Provide an example in your response. For works in time-based media, such as audio and video recordings, cite the relevant time or range of times. Give the numbers of the hours, minutes, and seconds as displayed in your media player, separating the numbers with colons. Buffy’s promise that “there’s not going to be any incidents like at my old school” is obviously not one on which she can follow through (“Hush” 00:03:16-17). 2

EN 111-04-Writing Composition Instructor: Ms. Coker PURDUE OWL MLA FORMATTING AND STYLE GUIDE (9 th Edition) STUDY GUIDE –50 points 15. How does MLA instruct students to cite sources without page numbers, such as a speech or a webpage? When a source has no page numbers or any other kind of part number, no number should be given in a parenthetical citation. Do not count unnumbered paragraphs, pauses, or other parts. This is an example of how to cite a direct quotation from an oral address. 16. Describe MLA regulations for quoting more than four lines of prose. In quotations that are five or more lines of text, start the quotation on a new line, with the entire quote indented half an inch from the left margin; maintain double-spacing. Do not indent the first line an extra amount or add quotation marks not present in the original. Use a colon to introduce the quotation (unless your introductory wording does not require punctuation). Your parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark. Note: If a new paragraph begins in the middle of the quotation, indent its first line. 17. Describe MLA rules for quoting 1-3 lines of poetry. Do you think music can be considered poetry. What rule(s) are you going to follow? If you quote part or all of a line of verse that does not require special emphasis, put it in quotation marks within your text, just as you would a line of prose. You may also incorporate two or three lines this way, using a forward slash with a space on each side ( / ) to indicate to your reader where the line breaks fall. If a stanza break occurs in the quotation, mark it with two forward slashes ( // ). If the edition of your text provides line numbers, identify them in your in-text citation. Do not count lines if numbers are not provided. Instead, cite page numbers or another explicit division numbering (such as stanzas, cantos, etc.). 18. Describe MLA rules for adding/omitting words in your in-text quote. I want both rules, the rules for adding and the rules for omitting. Show me an example of how you would use both rules. Read the instructions carefully . If you add a word or words in a quotation, you should put brackets around the words to indicate that they are not part of the original text. This is illustrated in the first example on this slide. Ex: Jan Harold Brunvand, in an essay on urban legends, states: “some individuals [who retell urban legends] make a point of learning every rumor or tale” (78). If you omit a word or words from a quotation, you should indicate the deleted word or words by using ellipsis marks, which are three periods ( . . . ) preceded and followed by a space. Please note that brackets are not needed around ellipses unless adding brackets would clarify your use of ellipses. This is illustrated in the second example on this slide. Ex: In an essay on urban legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that “some individuals make a point of learning every recent rumor or tale … and in a short time a lively exchange of details occurs” (78). 3

Work Cited List: Title of a Source – What is the MLA rule for citing the title of a source on the work cited page? What musical artist and song does Purdue Owl use in the example? IF the work does not have a title, provide a brief, clear description of the work such as “Email to Patrick Borchert.” The title of the source should follow the author’s name. Depending upon the type of source, it should be listed in italics or quotation marks. Beyoncé. “Pretty Hurts.” Beyoncé, Parkwood Entertainment, 2013, www.beyonce.com/album/beyonce/?media_view=songs. 21. Works Cited List: Title of Container – Define “ container ” according to MLA regulations. What sources are located in the “container?” a work that contains another work , Containers are the larger wholes in which the source is located such as a periodical, anthology, website, CD, TV or podcast series, or exhibit. . For example, if you want to cite a poem that is listed in a collection of poems, the individual poem is the source, while the larger collection is the container. The title of the container is usually italicized and followed by a comma, since the information that follows next describes the container. In the first example, “Toward Metareading” is the title of an essay, and The Future of the Book i s the title of the edited collection in which the essay appears. 22. Works Cited List: Version – What does version notation indicate? notation indicating which of multiple versions of a work released in multiple forms 23. Works Cited List: Number – How are numbers used in MLA formatting? If a source is part of a numbered sequence, such as a multi-volume book, or journal with both volume and issue numbers, those numbers must be listed in your citation. If your source uses another numbering system, include the number in your entry, preceded by a term that identifies the kind of division the number refers to. 24. Works Cited List: Publisher – What is the primary function of a publisher and how should they be cited on your Works Cited page? primarily responsible entity for producing the work or making it available to the public. The publisher produces or distributes the source to the public.

What do you do if you are unsure about what publication date to use, what is the MLA rule researchers/students should follow? tells when the version of work was published The same source may have been published on more than one date, such as an online version of an original source. When the source has more than one date, use the date that is most relevant to your use of it. If you’re unsure about which date to use, go with the date of the source’s original publication. In the first example, the periodical’s publication schedule goes by season. So document the volume (61), the issue number (3), and the issue (Spring 2008). In the second example, Mutant Enemy is the primary production company, and “Hush” was released in 1999. This is the way to create a general citation for a television episode. 26. Works Cited List: Location – What is location? What should be included for the location of online work? specifies work’s location, such as page range.

Each of these evidences is then elaborated and discussed in the body paragraphs . 29. According to Ms. Coker’s “Plagiarism PowerPoint” describe each of the 4 main types of plagiarism?
