MLA Format

One of the skill expectation is that all 102 students know MLA format.  As of April 2021, MLA has updated its format as noted in the new 9th edition.  The previous format of MLA 2016 is no longer acceptable, especially in regards to the Works Cited page.  The first page of any essay, however, remains the same. Please find a template for it below.

This handout demonstrates how to format page one:  MLA Format first page

Please find below the MLA 2021 guidelines from Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab)
