2. What is a Works Cited page?
AKA Bibliography
A list of all the sources you used in your research
It looks like this:

4. Most of you used these kinds of sources:
Books/encyclopedias
Articles on websites
There are other kinds of sources too—if you don’t think your source fits one of these categories, see your teacher for more information

5. An entry for an article on a website looks like this:
Last name, First name. “Article title.” Name of Site. Date of Posting. Name of publisher, Medium. Date you accessed the site.
Shah, Anup. “Fair Trade.” Global Issues. 6 August Anup Shah, Web. 24 May 2010.

6. Now try it yourself
Choose one of your sources that is AN ARTICLE ON A WEBSITE. You will need this information, in this order, about your source:
Author’s name— last name, first name
Name of the article or LINK you looked at— this goes in “quotation marks”
Name of the WHOLE website it came from— this will be italicized
Copyright date or date it was published or updated— day month year
Name of the publisher of the website
Medium of the source— most likely it will be “Web”. Might also be “PDF” or “Video”.
The date you accessed the information— day month year
Write this down or type it in your WORD file.
If some of the info is missing—check out the next slide…

7. Uh-Oh! I can’t find some of this information!
If a date is missing: just write “n.d.” (it means “no date”)
If you can’t find the publisher: just write “n.p.” (it means “no publisher”)
If you can’t find the author: SKIP IT—just start with the title

8. Now, put the information in the correct format
Last name, First name. “Article title.” Name of Site. Posting day Month year. Name of publisher, Medium. Access day month year.
Use reverse indentations—first line is at margin, other lines are indented
Double space the whole thing.

9. GOOD WORK!

Entries are in alphabetical order
The whole page is double-spaced
Reverse indentations (the opposite of paragraphs)—don’t indent the first line of an entry, but indent the rest

18. This is how your works cited page should look

19. Now Set Up Your WHOLE Page
Choose a very plain, very boring font, in size 12.
At the top of the page, type the words Works Cited. Center them. Don’t bold them or underline them or make them look fancy in any way.
Put your items in ALPHABETICAL ORDER, based on the first word in the entry. BTW, “A”, “An”, and “The” do not count for alpha order.
Look back at the previous page—does your page look right?

20. Using Internal Documentation
Why Use It
Whenever you do research, it is necessary to give credit to the sources you use.
Use citations to give credit to your sources.
If you do not include this documentation, you are plagiarizing.

21. When will I use citations?
Direct Quotes
Facts that Are Not Common Knowledge - A citation is required even in you put the fact in your own words.
An Author’s Original Idea or Argument

22. What information do I need?
Author’s last name
Page number

23. How do I use citations?
A citation goes at the END of the sentence and includes (Author’s last name Page number).
The punctuation for the sentence goes AFTER the citation, and there is no comma inside the citation.

24. What does a citation look like?
Homer’s epics, The Illiad and The Odyssey, described the battles of Odysseus and his men (Leeming 880).
Author’s last name
Page number
Punctuation

25. But what if… There is no author? Use a shortened form of the title
Put the title in quotes
EX: With prices of energy at new highs, bikes have been increasingly used ("Alternative Transportation" 89).

26. But what if… There is no page number?
The majority of web sources do not have page numbers. In that case, you just leave that part out of the citation.
EX: With prices of energy at new highs, bikes have been increasingly used ("Alternative Transportation").

27. A couple of other tips If you’re ever in doubt, include a citation.
Be careful not to overuse citations. Use your own ideas and your own writing. If every sentence has a citation, then very little of your paper is actually yours.

28. GOOD WORK!
Don’t forget how to do this! You’ll need to do this for EVERY paper your write from now on!!!!
