Use the format last name, comma, first name, period. Even if the play is part of an anthology with an editor, you will still start with the name of the playwright of the specific play you're citing. Place a period after the title, within the quotes. Make sure to capitalize the play as it's written. Place the anthology title in italics, followed by a period. If the play did not come from an anthology, you can skip this step. Precede the first and last name with "Edited by" For example, "Edited by Mary Close." Put a period after the last name of the editor. The format of the name should be first name, last name. You can find the name of the publisher in a few places, but most likely on the copyright page of the book. Properly capitalize the name of the publisher.  Example: “Penguin,” In MLA 8, you no longer need to include the city of publication. Place a period after this number. This will come after the publisher and comma. Example: “Penguin, 1990.” Write "p." if you're citing one page and "pp." if you're citing multiple. Use a dash to indicate a block of page numbers. Place a period after these numbers. If you are citing a single play published by itself rather than as part of an anthology, you can skip this step. Example: “pp. 105-120.” You will need to cite the act, scene, and line numbers for the piece of the text you’re incorporating into your paper. Following the quote, you would put the in-text citation in parenthesis in this format: (act.scene.lines). For example, if you are quoting a line from act 2, scene 5, lines 1-4, the in-text citation would look like this: (2.5.1-4). Some instructors might want you to use Roman numerals instead of arabic in your in-text citations to represent the act and scene numbers. If they want you to use Roman numerals, the in-text citation would look like this: (II.v.1-4). If your quote is longer than 3 lines, you will need to block it, which requires an indent of one extra inch from the left margin. The name of the speaker should have this extra inch indent, and subsequent lines of dialogue should be an inch and a quarter. Write character names in full capital letters. Just like when quoting a regular piece of prose in MLA style, long quotes need to be blocked in a similar fashion. Use the ruler at the top of your word processor to slide the margins where you need them to be.

Summary: Begin with the name of the playwright. Add the title of the play, in quotes. Add the title of the anthology, if applicable. Add the name of the editor of the anthology, if applicable. Include the publisher, followed by a comma. Add the year of publication. List the page numbers. Use in-text citations. Block longer quotes.


The first step of this project is to find the perfect pair of shoes. Since this is a craft project, you probably don't want to spend big bucks on a brand new pair that you'll be  covering in glitter anyway.  The best shoes for this project are an old, comfy pair. If you don't have anything suitable, look in Goodwill or other second hand stores for shoes in your size. The color doesn't matter in the slightest -- once the shoes are covered in glitter you won't be able to see the original color. Plain high-heeled pumps or ballet flats are the best style of shoe for this project, as they are easy to cover in glitter. Anything with laces or straps will involve more work, and the glitter will wear away much faster. The type of glitter you choose will define your finished product. It is important that you choose a super fine glitter, rather than a chunky glitter. Many people recommend the Martha Stewart brand of glitter, but any super fine glitter will do.  Super fine glitter will produce a much smoother, more even finish, whereas chunky glitter will result in a goopy, uneven mess. Any color glitter will work -- you can either do your shoes in one solid color, tape off patches of the shoes and use different colors on different parts, or mix different glitters together to produce a rainbow effect -- it's up to you! If you are making the glitter shoes to match a particular outfit, make sure to bring the outfit with you while craft shopping to get an exact color match. Even more so than the shoes and the glitter, the type of glue you use will be the most important aspect of making successful glitter shoes. A good glue will dry smooth and even and keep the glitter firmly attached to your shoes.  Mod Podge is the best glue for the job, as it is a glue, sealer and finish all in one! Choose either the matte or gloss finish, either will work just fine.  If you can't get your hands on Mod Podge, all-purpose Elmer's Glue is a good alternative, in addition to Martha Stewart's glitter glue. If all else fails, a good fabric glue will do the trick. Along with the above-mentioned essentials, you will need a number of additional tools in order to make your glitter shoes.  Take an old newspaper that you can lay on your work space. This is absolutely necessary, unless you're okay with getting glitter everywhere. Grab a plastic cup or bowl for the glitter and glue, plus a plastic spoon or wooden stick to mix the two. Get a couple of fine-bristled paint-brushes -- one for applying the glitter-glue and one for applying the final top coat of glue. Find some masking tape or painter's tape which you can use to protect the soles of your shoes from becoming covered in glitter.

Summary: Choose your shoes. Get the right glitter. Pick a glue. Gather additional supplies.


During your separation, it is good to meet new people. This can lead to filling those hours that you previously spent with your partner. While this is not technically dating, it is the beginnings of becoming available to date. Some ways to meet new people include:  Volunteering for issues that interest you, such as museums or animal shelters Taking classes for things you enjoy, such as cooking, writing, or a sport Starting or joining a club or organization, such as a book club or a religious organization. A local church or community center may even have a single parents’ group. Going out in groups is not technically dating, even though those groups often are comprised of couples. Going with groups of people to events, including movies, restaurants, and sporting events is a good way to socialize while your divorce is pending. It is also a good way to get to know the other person without the stress of a formal date in the background. Almost any activity that can be done one-on-one can also be done with a group of people. Consider such activities as:  Going hiking with a mixed-gender group of friends Seeing a play or movie with a mixed-gender group of friends. Going to the beach or park with a mixed-gender group of friends. If you do decide to go out on a paired-off date while separated, exercise discretion. This does not mean be secretive, but you don’t want to throw it in your former partner’s face, either, especially if s/he is having difficulty dealing with the breakup.  Don’t change your Facebook status to reflect any new relationships. Don’t announce dates on social media. Don’t talk about your dates in front of your children or friends who are also friends of your former spouse. If you are still married, the potential date has the right to know this. Only with this information can that person make an informed decision about whether s/he wants to be involved with the stress that is usually involved in this stage of your life.  Often, people feel betrayed if they learn that information has been withheld from them. Once you start dating, your partner(s) could potentially find themselves involved in your case against their will. Some people feel it is morally wrong to date others before the divorce is final.
Summary: Meet new people. Do things in groups. Exercise discretion. Consider telling potential dates your true marital status.
