Can someone please explain to me what it is? And how its suppose to go into my report? Thanxs in advance :]

Answer 1

MLA is When you Make it double spaced....and You do the following for The Top Left Corner of the page....Name
Teachers Name
Class
Date
Also you might want to keep it in Times New Roman and 12 size font... Date Must Be like this...23 Nov 2006. Hope this helps

Answer 2

MLA (Modern Language Association) has published a manual to use as a guideline for properly writing formal papers such as research papers. It tells you how to do a title page, how to organize and list footnotes or end notes, and how to do a bibliography. If your teacher has given you printed directions on how he,she wants that paper done, then follow the instructions, What the teacher means by the instructions follow the MLA writing style is that her directions are those she found in their manual.

I hope this helps.

It is one of a few "styles" for writing reports and scholarly papers. It mainly concerns headings, citing sources, using quotations, etc.
