What It Is:
This is a worksheet focused on MLA citations. It presents three scenarios where a student is including a sentence in a paper. For each scenario, the student must determine if the source of the information needs to be cited and why or why not, as well as determine if quotation marks are needed and rewrite the sentence to include them if necessary.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 9-12. The concepts of MLA citation and proper use of quotation marks require a solid understanding of grammar and research skills typically developed in high school. The topics presented require critical thinking about the need for attribution.
Why Use It:

It helps students understand when and why citation is necessary to avoid plagiarism and to give credit to original authors. It also allows them to practice integrating sources smoothly into their writing.
How to Use It:
