MLA formatting requires you to use in-text citations for prose plays. Place the citation at the end of the quoted text in parentheses.  If you are quoting dialogue from one speaker, place the citation at the end of the quoted dialogue, in the text. If you are quoting dialogue from multiple speakers, place the citation at the end of the block quote. Note the author’s full last name first in the citation. For example, you may write: “(Albee…)” or “(Hansberry…)” After the author’s last name, put in a comma. Then, write the title of the play you are quoting in italics.  For example, you may write, “(Albee, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?...).” If you have mentioned the title of the play once already in an earlier citation in your essay, you do not need to mention it again in the citations for the play moving forward. Note where you found the quotation in the play. Write the page number after the author’s name, followed by a semicolon. Then, write the act number.  For example, you may write, “(Albee 10; act 1). If you are including the title of the play, you may write: “(Albee, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 10; act 1).”

summary: Put the citation in the text using parentheses. Cite the author’s name. Note the title of the play. Include the page number and the act number.

Obedience training consists of teaching your dog to do things in response to your verbal commands or hand signals. Basic commands like “sit”, “come”, “leave it”, and  “stay” are important to help you manage your dog and ensure her safety, but there are many other commands you can teach, like “shake”, “roll over”, “jump” or “speak”. Most of these skills are taught with the same basic reward-based methods – capturing or luring – which will be demonstrated here with “sit”. Be sure to break up the training described here into multiple short sessions carried out over several days.  With a treat in hand, hold your hand out so your puppy can smell it, then lift your hand up and back over her head. As her eyes follow you and her head goes up, your golden puppy will automatically sit. As soon as she does, say “yes” or click and give the treat. Do this until she is easily lured into sitting. Now try the same thing, but with no treat in your hand. Say “sit” and move your hand back. Give her the treat as soon as she sits. When your golden has mastered sitting for your empty hand, back away, and use the same hand motion at a distance while saying “sit”. Finally, say “sit” without the hand motion, and reward your dog when she does so. Get some treats. Ignore your puppy, but watch her closely. As soon as she sits, say “sit” and toss a treat. She will probably try all sorts of things to get another treat. Wait for her to sit again, then say “sit” and toss a treat. Your dog will quickly learn to link sitting, the word “sit” and treats.

summary: Decide what you will teach your puppy. Use the lure method to teach “sit”. Use the capture method to teach sit.

Spread the cooking oil across the whole surface of the skillet by tipping and rotating it. Keep the skillet over the heat until the oil starts to ripple. Non-stick pans will make your sear less crispy. Opt for a cast iron skillet. Make sure the meat isn’t dripping with marinade before you put it on the pan. Before the oil starts to smoke, lay the meat down in the center of the pan, or spread out smaller pieces of meat evenly so the meat isn’t crowded. Don’t move the meat around the pan once you’ve dropped it in. Use tongs or spatula to try and lift the meat off of the pan to check on the sear’s color. If the meat sticks to the pan, wait to flip it. Once you see a dark sear or the breading is golden brown, flip your meat over. The size and type of meat will affect the time it takes for it to cook. A 6 oz (170 g) chicken breast will take approximately 5 minutes for each side to cook through. A beef steak or pork tenderloin that’s 1 in (2.5 cm) thick will take 3-4 minutes on each side. If your meat isn’t at the right temperature and you’re afraid of the pan burning it, remove the meat from the skillet and place it on a baking pan. Put it into your oven on the broil setting for 2-3 minutes before checking the temperature again.
summary: Heat an oiled skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Place the meat on the pan once it’s piping hot. Flip the meat once it has a dark-colored sear on the bottom. Cook the meat thoroughly.
