You may choose to put the citation at the end of a quotation. Direct quotation example: It's also true that "many students do not have enough experience writing" (Everson). Paraphrase example: Many students need more practice writing (Everson). *Notice the author's last name is in parentheses.

Later in the year, we will create a full works cited with multiple sources. This 1) gives credit to all the sources you used within your essay, and 2.) gives the reader a place to find and (if he/she wanted to, look up)your sources. For your assignment, you'll just need to cite the article you choose to deconstruct. This is a good resource to use, but be sure what it generates matches how a source should look when it is cited. https://www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a-website Information included in a works cited entry: 1. Author. 2. Title of source. 3. Title of container, 4. Other contributors, 5. Version, 6. Number, 7. Publisher, 8. Publication date, 9. Location.
