September 24: MLA and APA

Similarities:

• They mention the authors names and page numbers
• both give the url to the website/page
• All contributors and the title of the piece is listed

Differences:

• APA mentions the year it was published (need it)
• APA is numbered from the first page without interruption
• APA contains an abstract
• Abstracts do not contain citations of other works
• MLA contains numbers that direct you to a numbered list of notes
• MLA tends to write out every contributor’s name

APA in-class activity, worked with Taylor Dunakin
