Works Cited Review Time for some notes! Woo-hoo!

Works Cited What is a works cited? List of sources Appears at end of a writing (essay, book, etc.) Last page Separate page What is it used for? Documentation of sources that are used in writing What is put in a works cited? Any sources that are used in the writing Cannot include sources that do not appear in writing

Why Works Cited All sources are fully listed at the back of the paper Convenient for teachers and researchers Gets rid of repetitive information: Each source listed only once at the back of the paper Instead of every time used in the paper When using a quote OR paraphrase in your paper Only need a brief reference to Works Cited entry All information for that source can then be found on the Works Cited page.

Why do we need a Works Cited? Shows where facts and quotes were found Teachers can see and check that you did research Plagiarism IS a big deal If you don’t show sources you are “cheating” Mountain Pointe: you will receive a “0” on your project If caught a 2nd time you will be dropped from the class College: Dropped from class Possibly expelled from school

Capitalization and Punctuation Capitalize each word in the titles of articles, books, etc Do not capitalize articles, short prepositions, or conjunctions unless one is the first word of the title or subtitle: Gone with the Wind, The Art of War, There Is Nothing Left to Lose

Capitalization and Punctuation Use italics for titles of larger works (books, magazines, name of the website) Use quotation marks for titles of shorter works (page on a website, poems, articles) Miller, J.
