Citations & Corrections

Please look over the citation you did as groups in class on 2/6. You all made a good effort and had lots of successes. MLA formatting (really all citation formats) are tricky to get right and require a significant (and sometimes annoying) amount of attention to detail. The first entry in each section is the citation as it was turned it, the second is my explanation of necessary changes, the third is my corrected citation with the corrections highlighted. A. Article in a magazine

1. Collis, Clark. Three Rounds with Fun. Entertainment 3 August 2012: 44-46. Print. 2. Make sure to include the entire magazine title in your citation. 3. Collis, Clark. Three Rounds with Fun. Entertainment Weekly 3 August 2012: 44-46. Print. B. Article in a magazine

1. Tolkien, J.R.R. Unfinished Tales: of Numenor and Middle-Earth. New York New York: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1980. 2. When your source was published in a major city thats unlikely to be mistaken for any other city, you can just use the city name without identifying its state (or province, country, territory, etc.). If this book was published in New York, TX, that would be something to note. You also need to identify the medium of publication for this one.

(Also, note that here, you would include IN to explain to a reader where West Lafayette is.) 3. Hornby, Nick. Interview by Sarah Layden. Telling Stories, Talking Craft.
