My Chosen Citation Method

I have decided that my citation method for the semester is going to be MLA. Previously in my writing career I was never required to use any particular format, as long as we listed our sources we were fine. So my reason for choosing MLA are that it seems widley used, and if I get stuck the teacher or Rachel Sanchez will be able to help me out. MLA also appears to require the least amount of work and since I can be farely lazy when it comes to writing the less work the better.

MLA is a citation style that is often used in the liberal arts along with, journalists, acedemic writers and many others. MLA helps you give acountability for your sources and gives you credibility in the writing world. Your work will be taken more seriously and you will be less likely accused of plagerism. The general guidlines for MLA aare simple: 12pt. font, double spacing, and one inch margins. The process for the header of your paper is also simple: your name, teacher's name, class section and date. MLA will prove usefull in my future writing because of its wide spread use and growing popularity. To me MLA seems like the most obvious and practical citation style out there.
