Learning Outcome #5 and #6
I always add my MLA formatting once I finish my paper because it feels like the easy last step. In my Chosen Work Sample, I am missing my works cited page although I did cite my sources, I just accidentally added the works cited page to another project… oops. The sources I would have had would be the “The End of Food” I have my name at the top left with “Professor Jesse Miller” under it and the course title and the due date also listed underneath. The entire essay is typed in times new roman with size 12 size font, and I included my in-text citations after each quote, but I also made sure to always introduce the person as well as context before I quote them. An example from my final draft of my chosen work sample that includes MLA format is “It stuck out to me when Widdecombe mentioned a conversation she had with Rhinehart about Soylent feeding the malnourished, ‘To help a village full of malnourished people, ‘you could just drop in a shipping container’ full of Soylent-producing algae,’ (Widdecombe 17) because this is a practical and life-changing idea that can make an improvement to the lives of the 663 million malnourished people in the world.” In this sentence of my essay, I gave credit to both the writer and the person who said the quote, added context to how this quote is relevant, and finished the quote off with an intext citation.
