    Regular quotations from the text that are fewer than four lines should be integrated into the text; set your quotation off by a comma, “and then there the quoted portion” (30).

    MLA formatting is a renowned way of citing your sources to avoid plagiarism. Mrs. Larson has beaten into me (literally) that plagiarism is bad! If you take even the smallest amount of information from a website, book, magazine, interview, or newspaper you must give that individual/author credit for his/her work. I have learned that a works cited page must be present and that in text citations must accompany your writing. As you can see in the picture below which is an example of an evaluation essay, I am readily capable of citing my sources and writing in MLA format. This is also a great example of my ability to write in an evaluation format.…
