89. "MLA Citation" Winter Clean-Up Students constantly forget citation rules; this "Citation Fix-It" activity provides a "messy" bibliography of winter-themed sources (books about Everest, articles about snow) that students must correct. The resource includes a quick-reference MLA 9 guide. Aligned with W.9-10.8, this is essential prep for spring research papers. It is a high-demand "skill builder" that teachers buy to save grading time later.

This workshop focuses on mastering MLA 9 citation style, which is essential for academic writing. Participants will learn to identify and correct common citation errors, thus ensuring accurate referencing in their work. The activity includes comparing incorrect and correct citations for books and websites, as well as hands-on exercises where students will fix messy citations. Alongside these practical tasks, there are opportunities for metacognitive reflection, allowing students to assess their confidence and pinpoint specific citation challenges they face. By the end of the workshop, students will be equipped with the skills required to format citations correctly, thereby enhancing their research papers and reducing instances of plagiarism.
