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

2. 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

3. 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.

4. 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

11. Works Cited Format Use a “hanging indent” for each entry
First line on left margin, second line indented one tab.

* You may need to backspace then hit “enter” so that you can tab the second line without it automatically tabbing the first line.

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

13. Capitalization and Punctuation
Use italics for titles of larger works (books, magazines, name of the website)
