1984 Research Guide: MLA Citation and Annotated Bibliographies

OWL has an easy-to-understand explanation of how to paraphrase. Click here!   see OWL's handout to see the difference between paraphrasing, quoting and summarizing.

The Hun School uses the MLA form of citation. You can consult the English Department's Composition Handbook for a simple explanation. Or click here for a brief, online style guide.  Remember that citations come in two forms:

• In the body of your paper or letter you need to add a brief citation in parentheses when quoting or using ideas from sources. 
• Your bibliography (AKA Works Cited Page) will include the full citation in the specified form. See example here, or look at your English Composition Handbook.
