Presentation on theme: "Underline, Italicize, Quotation Marks, or Naked?"— Presentation transcript:

1 Underline, Italicize, Quotation Marks, or Naked?
Titles: Underline, Italicize, Quotation Marks, or Naked?

2 YOUR BASIC RULES: Any work long enough to be published alone is put in italics. If you're typing your essay, italicize your words. If you’re handwriting the words, underline them instead. Shorter works or parts of longer works are enclosed in quotation marks.

3 Underline/Italics To indicate the title of a LONG work or something that could stand alone (not as part of something else) Examples: titles of books, novels, plays, long poems, periodicals, operas, ballets, named symphonies, newspapers, sculptures, paintings, television programs, ships, planes, and spacecraft are in italics

4 Use Quotation Marks: To indicate the title of a SHORT work or something that is PART of another work. Examples: single poems, articles, short stories, chapters, titles of songs, and so on
