In this three-day camp, learners will be taught what MLA is, why it is used, and how to use it. Each learner will be provided handouts they can use for ANY essay they write in the future. I will demonstrate how to paraphrase and cite information correctly using both parenthetical and in-text citations. Learners will also be shown how to set up an essay in proper MLA formatting as well as compiling a Works Cited page. -All of these skills are imperative for proper formal essay writing and are required to know if a learner plans to attend college. -MLA formatting is universal and used worldwide. It was created so that writers give credit where credit is due and do not jeopardize themselves by plagiarizing their essays. -It will be assumed that if a student attends college, they know the MLA rules and use them. It is not something a college professor will teach!
Learning Goals
Students will understand what MLA is, why it is important, and how to cite information properly using the MLA rules.

I have been teaching literature and writing to teens for over 25 years. I hold Bachelor’s Degrees in English, Writing, and Secondary Education, as well as a current teaching license. In 2005, I earned a Master’s Degree in Education and continue to take professional development courses annually to refine my teaching practices and stay current with educational trends and new teaching methods. Alongside my work with pre-teens and teens, I am also an English professor at the university level, where I teach writing and literature courses.
During my 21 years as a high school English teacher, I was proud to help our sophomore students consistently achieve the highest reading and writing scores in the state. My teaching approach focuses on building a strong foundation by breaking the writing process into small, manageable steps. I am super patient and encouraging with my feedback and guidance, ensuring students feel supported and confident as they grow in their writing abilities.
My courses are designed to accommodate all types of learners and abilities, providing a supportive environment where every learner can thrive!Reviews
