Welcome! This research guide was created for students in Prof. Putorti's FALL 2025 Eng. 101 class.

This guide is a customized resource for this assignment.

The resources on these pages will help you:

Your essay should include documentation of your sources using parenthetical (in-text) citations and a Works Cited page using MLA 9 style formatting.
