The Citation Fix-It Kit: MLA & APA Made Simple | Grades 9-12 | Citation Practice Supporting Common Core Skills

MLA or APA? This packet puts the two styles side by side in one comparison chart. Students then label in-text citations, fix broken entries in each style, and decide which style fits a given assignment. A Self-Check Card lists what to look at before turning in a citation.

Supports skills in Common Core State Standards. This packet practices L.9-10.3a (editing citations to follow MLA and APA style guidelines). It also supports W.9-10.8 and W.11-12.8 (following a standard format for citation); the fit is partial, because this packet practices citation format only.

Inside you'll find:

✓ Student practice exercises

✓ Self-check reference card

✓ Progress tracker

✓ Parent answer key

✓ Standards alignment chart

✓ Parent guide

✓ "Now What?" next-step guide

Perfect for:
