Let’s Check Your Documentation!

Works Cited New page? Double spaced? Title Centered Capitalization Header / #

Works Cited On your Works Cited Hanging indent On EVERY source

Works Cited On your Works Cited Alphabetical by 1st letter of citation (ignore the/a/an)?

Works Cited Are there 4 sources? Are all from a database? Check to verify that no more than 2 are from any one database. Check date of publication – 2006-2016 Is each citation correctly formatted?

The MATCHING Game

Works Cited / In-Text Citations Look at your rough draft Separate the Works Cited page Look at each SOURCE On the Works Cited > In the LEFT margin NUMBER each source 1-4

Works Cited / In-Text Citations On your rough draft, write # wherever that source is referenced Next, at end of each citation of Works Cited, note PAGE # on which the source was referenced

Works Cited / In-Text Citations Is EVERY source on the Works Cited page used in the essay? OPTIONS: Delete the source citation Add evidence from the source to your essay

Works Cited / In-Text Citations In the essay, find anywhere that you have used evidence. IS IT CITED? In-text citation Author attribution Parenthetical citation Verify that the citation and the Works Cited MATCH. Verify that they EXACTLY MATCH!

Citations Italicized publication titles? Journal articles from database

Works Cited / In-Text Citations Is every single citation’s source listed on the Works Cited? OPTIONS: Add the source citation Delete the evidence from your essay

Works Cited / In-Text Citations FINAL CHECKLIST Does each source have an entry on the works cited page? Are all direct quotes in quotation marks? Do all paraphrases and summaries clearly indicate that they come from other sources, either in the sentence or parenthetical citation? Does each in-text reference include a parenthetical citation that includes the author’s last name and the page number from which the information was taken? If a quotation is 4 lines or more, is it block-quoted? (i.e. double-spaced, indented 1 inch from the left margin) Have you clearly indicated where you found all information you did not previously know?

Check MLA: Running header? Heading? Title center? Right side – Lastname # Heading? Title center? No bold No underline Capitalized – every word except the/of/a/an Margins – 1 inch on all 4 sides Double spacing throughout

HOOK Does the essay immediately grab your attention? Does it make you want to read the rest of the essay? Make a suggestion for improving the HOOK

[thesis] What is the thesis? Write “thesis” in the margin and use [ ] Suggestions to improve the thesis?

Background Does the background paragraph provide you with enough information to understand the topic and its history? Improvements?

Conclusion Does the ending link back to the hook or the intro paragraph?
