Every piece of information that you include in your essay that comes from an outside source (other than your own personal brain) or that is not common knowledge needs an in-text or parenthetical citation.
We have talked about this in class, but just in case:
VIDEO: "What are in-text citations?" (This is the video we watched in class)
VIDEO: "MLA In-Text Citations - an in-depth guide" (Long, but VERY useful)
VIDEO: "Plagiarism & Citing Sources: Common Knowledge Explained" (Useful information we watched in class)
Helpful information sheets, links, and practice:
"MLA In-Text Citation Helper" (Handed out in class)
"MLA In-Text Citations" from the Bedford Writing Center (Lots of detail, but very useful)
"MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics" from the Purdue OWL
It is very important to remember that ignorance is not an excuse; if you do not know the right way to do a citation, it is never okay to just skip over doing it.
