The special features in Dr. Moore’s Step-by-Step MLA Quick Reference Guide makes this resource more than just a handbook. In addition to the step-by-step instructions explaining how to create the works cited and in-text citations for 15 of the most commonly used sources in academic writing, this resource comes with video lectures and worksheets. The video lectures allow students to see and hear where to find the information that they will need from the sources in order to create MLA citations based on the 8th edition of the MLA handbook. Since students learn by doing, this resource also includes worksheets that help them organize ideas and information from the sources, as well as create works cited and in-text citations. This one resource addresses virtually every type of learning style. It will allow educators to dedicate more class time to content material, while still empowering students with a resource that teaches them how to create works cited and in-text citations. It is a win-win for everyone. (Videos are ADA compliant and are hosted on a website that is accessible from most every electronic device.)
