Once you've found some (no necessarily all) good sources to use for your paper, you need to figure out how to cite them in MLA format. The MLA Handbook 2010 is best (it's in the library..just ask), but if you're in a pinch, there are some okay MLA guides online.

Remember that if you're getting your sources online, you need to cite them as an online source. There is a particular format for this.
**For next week, post the citations for 2 of your sources (preferably 1 primary and 1 secondary), and write a brief summary of each. Tell us what each book/article is about and a sentence or two about why it is useful for your research.
(This may seem like just an extra writing assignment, but you'll use your sources better and with greater ease once you've spent some time distilling them.)
