Sophomore English
PPT by Guidorizzi

2. Works Cited What is a works cited? What is it used for?
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:

Dropped from class
