MLA Website Citation Formating - Drag n drop

How to create an MLA website citation:

When citing a website, individuals are often actually citing a specific page on a website. They’re not actually citing the entire website. Here is the most common way to cite a page on a website:

• Start the citation with the name of the author who wrote the information on the page.
• If there isn’t an author listed, do not include this information in the citation.
• Start the citation with the title. The title of the individual page is placed in quotation marks, followed by a period.
• Next, place the name of the website in italics, followed by a comma.
• If the name of the publisher matches the name of the author or the name of the title, do not include the publisher’s information in the citation.
• The date the page or website was published comes next.
• End the citation with the URL.When including the URL, remove http:// and https:// from the URL. Since most websites begin with this prefix, it is unnecessary to include it in the citation.

MLA FORMAT

Last name, First name of author. “Title of Web Page.” Title of Website, Publisher, Date published, URL.

Identify the Thesis Statement

When I was young, I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher someday. When I played, I would gather my dolls together and pretend to teach them how to do math prolmes, or how to read a book. As I grew older, my desire to become and ESL teacher becomes clearer as I did some colunteer teaching overseas and in the United States. As I look back on my reasons for becoming a teachers, there are three reasons that stand out. They are my love the the English language, my innate interest in how people learn, and my desire to help other people.
