An interactive resource for teaching MLA citations.
MLA Game Time
Get in to teams of two-three.
Using SMH determine how the MLA Works Cited citation should look for each example.
The first team to write the citation correctly on the board gets a point.
Before I start the game…
Before class I remind the students to bring their St. Martins Handbooks with them to the next class.
I ask the students to get into groups – I often encourage them to switch up their seats and choose new classmates to get to know.
I hand out white-board markers to each team. You need to bring enough markers with you to class.
Sample Slides
Use topics your students are interested in…
I have included:
- One Direction posts
- Stories about sports
- Stories that deal with the Razorbacks
Figure out what your students are into! I usually give some kind of candy for each win – that way the students are more likely to compete.
