Extremely helpful for my students! Not all of them have the same background knowledge, so this is a great activity to help everyone get on the same page.

✏️ Teacher Instructions for using this resource

How to use these In-Text Citations Activities:

This resource includes eight scaffolding worksheets for MLA citations, each with a paragraph featuring either a parenthetical or narrative citation. Students must identify the in-text citation, and then organize the points provided to write a comprehensible paragraph.

Topics explored in this resource include:

  • Wisdom Teeth Extraction
  • Strength Training for Teens
  • Urban Legends
  • Wet'suwet'en Solidarity Protests
  • Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" Speech
  • Advantages of Immigration
  • and more!

Completed paragraphs and highlighted in-text citations can be found in the answer key for this resource. 

Also included in this resource is a set of multiple-choice questions that highlight important information regarding formatting in-text citations according to MLA 9. An answer key has also been provided for this resource, which includes explanations for each correct answer.

To support students with scaffolding in-text citations, anchor chart posters have also been included.  These reference posters include a “skeleton of a citation” to show the simplified formula of an MLA citation, along with in-text citation examples of parenthetical and narrative citations.  Hang these beautiful posters on your classroom bulletin board or provide them to each student for an individual reference sheet.

This resource accommodates English Language Learners, students with learning exceptionalities, and students reading at different Lexile levels. The Lexile range for these worksheets is 1010L - 1300L (Grade 9-12+). These levels are indicated in the answer key.

Finally, a Tic-Tac-Toe worksheet has been provided in order to implement student choice. This means you can either assign all of the paragraphs to your students, select paragraphs that meet students at their individual level, or allow them to select the worksheets themselves through a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. I like to have students play this game with a partner, but they can also complete this task individually by simply crossing out a line of three tasks.

⭒ For classrooms utilizing Google Classroom® ⭒

To access the digital version of these worksheets and activities, simply follow the instructions within the resource to copy the files directly to your Google Drive®.

This resource is phenomenal. The level of detail provided to scaffold this skill made it so much more approachable for my students. I work with primarily English Language Learners and they were really successful with this.
