Unlike essays, there's no special way to structure your PowerPoint for MLA or APA style -- colors, fonts, layout, etc are all up to you.
First Slide | Content Slides | Last Slide(s) |
---|---|---|
Like your MLA heading, include: title, your name, class info, date | Include in-text citations wherever you borrowed information from your research! |
Giving oral citations are just like narrative citations in an essay.
Just like an essay, anything not original to you needs credit provided! You do have more flexibility in how and where you include citations, though.
The following examples use APA, but the same arrangement goes for MLA, too.
You can use traditional parenthetical citations, especially if you've used multiple sources on one slide.
You can also go less formal [unless your professor has said otherwise!] by tucking the citation into the corner of the slide (Greene, 2010).
You must also include a References slide! We can use hanging indents, but it's not strictly necessary. A bulleted list might also work in this situation.
