Works Cited
As discussed in class, please use hybrid citations for your Works Cited. Use MLA format for the publication and date details, and link your spelled-out title to the article itself. Check the links yourself to be sure they lead back to a page we can all access (even if it’s the page in the databases that “launches” the actual document).

I’ve posted a Sample Works Cited and linked it to the Resources category and the A08: Definition Essay category in the sidebar.
