You may refer to the MLA Citations Instructions in the Modules or Purdue Owl site to view the basic in-text citations and the works cited examples.
As always, use the MLA format: Introduction with the thesis as the last sentence of the first paragraph, multiple body paragraphs that have topic sentences that reflect the information provided in the paragraph and the thesis, 4 sources (both supportive and opposing citations), a conclusion, and Works Cited page that contains the sources that are reflected in the essay in the correct format.
Having both supportive and opposing citations is what makes an argument. It is crucial to have these elements so you do not earn a failing score.
