Hi English 12,
As you revise and edit your essays over the next week, you will need to complete a bibliography.
Because you are using multiple sources in your essay, throughout your essay you will need to use in text citations. After a quote, put in brackets the author’s last name, a comma, and then the page number). For digital sources that don’t have a page number (like the Solomon talk) you only need to cite the author’s last name.
If you have done research from other sources that have informed your argument, you need to include a citation as well.
For example:
Today, Al Khatahtbeh runs a widely read media empire, followed by hundreds of thousands of people (Convery).
Then, all the texts you discuss in your essay need to appear in your bibliography. You should use MLA formatting and put the texts in alphabetical order.
Here is the bibliographical information you will need. Note that this list is NOT in MLA form!
