MLA Format

All academic disciplines have a set of style and formatting conventions they expect writers to follow. These conventions can vary between disciplines. For example, American Medical Association (AMA) style is used in the field of medical research. The Chicago Manual of Style is often used in historical research. American Psychological Association (APA) style is used across many social sciences, including psychology, sociology, and education.

Your English classes at Burlington High School will require you to use MLA (Modern Language Association) format, which is often used in the fields of language and literature.
