How to Write a Works Cited Page and In-Text Citations Council Rock Guidelines Mrs. Bovino, NMS

Why do I need to cite my sources? Whenever you take information from somewhere other than your own brain, you must cite where you got the information. What is it called when you use information from a source and don’t give credit to the author?

Plagiarism Plagiarize - to “steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own…without crediting the source” Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary. Springfield: Merriam, Print. If you plagiarize, you may get a zero or an F on an assignment.

What format do I use? We use MLA (Modern Language Association) format for documenting sources. Council Rock teachers want you to use MLA. Use purple sheet to guide you.

With MLA style cite every source at least twice! First - in your paper with parenthetical citation. Example: (Smith 47). Example: (Smith 47). Second – on your Works Cited page. Example: Example: Smith, John. World War II Battles. Philadelphia: University Press, Print. Follow purple sheet format.

In-Text Citations “Hitler boasted that his empire would last a thousand years. It would in fact last only sixty-eight months, but in that brief time 55 million people would be killed in battle, by bombing, and in the death camps created by the Nazis to carry out their doctrine of racial purity” (Lace 75). Taken from “source” information on note cards. Taken from “source” information on note cards.

How to list sources on Works Cited page: Works Cited appears at the end of the paper on a new page. Double space the entire page. Use Times New Roman, 12 font size Center the title, Works Cited, at the top of the page. Begin each entry flush with the left margin. If an entry runs more than one line, indent the next line. (hanging indention)

How do I arrange my sources? Alphabetical order by author or editor Ex. Smith, Stanley L., ed. If author unknown, alphabetize by title Ignore initial A, An or The when alphabetizing

Works Cited Fox, Anne L., and Eva Abraham-Podietz. Ten Thousand Children: True Stories Told by Children Who Escaped the Holocaust on the Kindertransport. West Orange: Behrman House, Print.
