Students must follow the rules for writing according to the Modern Language Association (MLA). These rules help to convey information to the reader, for example, if a title is underlined, this indicates to the reader that the title is that of a novel. The MLA also has established rules for citation, or giving credit to others for their thoughts and ideas, that are essential to avoid plagiarism. Learning the rules and conventions for writing within Language Arts can be challenging, but Purdue University offers OWL (Online Writing Lab), an excellent guide for beginner and experienced writers, to facilitate the MLA learning process.
