Presentation on theme: "How to Create a Works Cited"— Presentation transcript:

1 How to Create a Works Cited
Failure to provide an in-text (parenthetical) citation AND a Works Cited is cheating. Make sure cite your quotes and your stories! For this assignment, you will cite each story as “a selection from an anthology,” because each story appears as a selection in your textbook. You can find information on how to cite a document on the Purdue OWL, at You should also check your notes!

2 How to Create a Works Cited
Here’s where you find the information you need: (The author’s name will usually appear on the first page of the story, too) First page of the story Publisher’s information page (at the beginning of the textbook) Last page of the story

3 How to Create a Works Cited
If you are quoting from Tarzan of the Apes, by Edgar Rice Burroughs, on page of Literature to Go, it will look like this: Find this information on the Publisher’s Page at the start of your book! Center the title of the Works Cited; the entries should be aligned left. Find this information on the first and last page of your story. If your citation goes onto a second line, then indent the second line. If you don’t know how to do this, you can skip it this time.

4 How to Create a Works Cited
General reminders: The Works Cited appears about three lines down from the bottom of your last body paragraph (or your conclusion, in a full-length paper). The first line of the citation is NOT indented. Font should still be Times New Roman 12. Citations should still be double spaced. List citations in alphabetical order by author’s last name (Burroughs, Chopin, Crane …). Make sure your titles and any names and spelled and formatted correctly! CHECK PUNCTUATION, QUOTATION MARKS, AND ITALICS. It should all match the example. HUGE HINT: Since most of your stories come from the same book (Literature to Go), it’s a good idea to just copy/paste the same citation for each author, AND CHANGE the author, story title, and page numbers! Everything else is the same!
