    Honors 101

    Fall 2016
    Dr. Klodt
    MLA Formatting Practice: Lorem Ipsum Fake Essay

    Lorem Ipsum is a non-sensical series of Latin words or jibberish filler text used for
    mock-ups in typesetting and web design. You will use Lorem Ipsum dummy text to
    practice the mechanics of MLA formatting. Follow these steps:

    1. Copy and paste at least two pages of Lorem Ipsum into a word processing document,
    which will be the text of your fake essay. You can quickly generate multiple
    paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum at www.ipsum-generator.com.

    Since copying text from the internet sometimes introduces unwanted formatting, be
    sure to Left Justify your text and follow MLA guidelines for the appropriate font, font
    size, and font color.

    2. Format your Lorem Ipsum text as an essay for Honors 101 using the MLA guidelines
    that we learned in class (the slides are linked on our website) and that you may have
    to look up in the current MLA Handbook 8th edition (also linked on our website).


    3. In your essay, include direct citations from the following five (5) different sources:
    a) A book (pick any paragraph that is at least 10 lines long)
    b) An article from an academic journal
    c) An article from an online newspaper
    d) A YouTube video
    e) One other source of your choice
    For each source, complete an MLA Practice Template (linked on our website).

    4. Pick any random sentence or paragraph from your sources in Step 3. Then pick
    random spots in your Lorem Ipsum essay where you will cite these five sources. It
    does not matter the content that you cite or where you place the citations in
    your essay. The purpose of this exercise is to practice the mechanics of MLA
    formatting. For example, here is a citation from an article in an academic journal:


    1
    5. Prepare the Works Cited page for your sources in Step 3 according to MLA
    guidelines.

    6. On the last page of your essay, include and sign the Honors College pledge:

    On my honor, I pledge that I have neither given, received, nor witnessed


    unauthorized help on this essay.

    Signature: __________________


    7. Submit a printed copy of your Lorem Ipsum essay stapled to printed copies of the
    MLA Practice Templates that you completed in Step 3.

    Essay due Tuesday 13 September 2016
