happypamama Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Back when I was in school (mid-90s), I believe I used the MLA guide for how to put my bibliographies and such in the proper formats. What's the current preferred guide for such things, that would be appropriate for middle schoolers to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 My oldest used MLA for her high school courses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Tomlinson Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 My kids have all used MLA in high school and even in the first year of college. As their college studies advance they move to APA (engineering and nursing) or Chicago (history). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thank you both. I really liked the MLA's format, so since it sounds like that's still in vogue, I think I will suggest it and maybe pick up a newer version. I'm teaching a history co-op class for 8-13-year-olds this fall, and I want them to do a little research report, including a properly formatted bibliography, but I wanted to have a guide to suggest to parents if needed.
