6. REMINDER…COMPARE/CONTAST ESSAY: PAPER DUE Friday or Monday (2/8 or 2/11) • Your COMPARE/CONTRAST essay on tragic heroes: Macbeth/Lance Armstrong is due this Friday or Monday (depending on what day you have English class). • Please come prepared! • You MUST have a TYPED paper in MLA format. • You must also include your Works Cited page with your paper. • This assignment is worth a test grade. • KEEP all your graphic organizers and ROUGH drafts. I am only asking, however, that you submit your final paper.

7. Works Cited • This is your reference page. It is like a BIBLIOGRAPHY page you may have done in the past. This page documents your sources, so that you don’t plagarize information. • ANYTHING that you put in your paper that is not YOURS, MUST be cited. Without that, you risk academic dishonesty. In college, you can be expelled. At William Penn, you can be suspended and your assignment will remain a zero. This happens every year to students who either don’t try and understand the rule and/or (in most cases) try to pass off work that does not belong to them.

8. PARENTHETICAL CITATIONS: • General Guidelines • The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1.) upon the source medium (e.g. Print, Web, DVD) and (2.) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited (bibliography) page. • Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text, must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry in the Works Cited List.

9. Citing Non-Print or Sources from the Internet With more and more scholarly work being posted on the Internet, you may have to cite research you have completed in virtual environments. While many sources on the Internet should not be used for scholarly work (reference the OWL's Evaluating Sources of Information resource), some Web sources are perfectly acceptable for research. When creating in-text citations for electronic, film, or Internet sources, remember that your citation must reference the source in your Works Cited. Sometimes writers are confused with how to craft parenthetical citations for electronic sources because of the absence of page numbers, but often, these sorts of entries do not require any sort of parenthetical citation at all. For electronic and Internet sources, follow the following guidelines: • Include in the text the first item that appears in the Work Cited entry that corresponds to the citation (e.g. author name, article name, website name, film name). • You do not need to give paragraph numbers or page numbers based on your Web browser’s print preview function. • Unless you must list the website name in the signal phrase in order to get the reader to the appropriate entry, do not include URLs in-text. Only provide partial URLs such as when the name of the site includes, for example, a domain name, like CNN.com or Forbes.com as opposed to writing out http://www.cnn.com or http://www.forbes.com.

10. Electronic Sources: What your paper says: • One online film critic stated that Fitzcarraldo is "...a beautiful and terrifying critique of obsession and colonialism" (Garcia, “Herzog: a Life”). • The Purdue OWL is accessed by millions of users every year. Its "MLA Formatting and Style Guide" is one of the most popular resources (Stolley et al.). • In the first example, the writer has chosen not to include the author name in-text; however, two entries from the same author appear in the Works Cited. Thus, the writer includes both the author’s last name and the article title in the parenthetical citation in order to lead the reader to the appropriate entry on the Works Cited page (see below). In the second example, “Stolley et al.” in the parenthetical citation gives the reader an author name followed by the abbreviation “et al.,” meaning, “and others,” for the article “MLA Formatting and Style Guide.” Both corresponding Works Cited entries are as follows: What your WORKS CITED page says: • Garcia, Elizabeth. "Herzog: a Life." Online Film Critics Corner. The Film School of New Hampshire, 2 May 2002. Web. 8 Jan. 2009. • Stolley, Karl, et al. "MLA Formatting and Style Guide." The OWL at Purdue. 10 May 2006. Purdue University Writing Lab. 12 May 2006 .

11. How to avoid an issue… • WHENEVER you use words in combination that are not yours, put them in quotes. Then for MLA formatting purposes, but parenthesis after the citation and list the information as required. • Since MOST of your quotes will come from electronic sources, I have put an example below to help you. Paper reads: • “Lance Armstrong, in the interview Thursday night with Oprah Winfrey in which he admitted to doping, understood the role that storytelling played in his fall: "You win the Tour de France seven times, you have a happy marriage, you have children. It's just this mythic, perfect story. And it wasn't true.“ (SOURCE INFORMATION)
