Ms. Herrick's English Classes



Ms. HerrickEnglish 1MLA WORKS CITED GUIDEEvery paper must include a Works Cited page at the end. The Works Cited page lists all of the stories that have been read and used in the paper. If you are citing a novel or a book, or a story that was printed by itself and not as a part of an anthology or textbook, use a standard MLA citation. It looks like this:5201031-1753This is just the format. Do not type this into your paper!020000This is just the format. Do not type this into your paper!2190757747000463783714036055010308052-134620762000* See how the citation is aligned all the way to the left? It is never appropriate to indent the first line of a Works Cited entry.If you are citing a short story or poem that appears as part of an anthology or a textbook, use the MLA citation for selections from a textbook. It looks like this:21945615956300-1336803365500 * Notice how, when the citation goes onto the next line, the second line is indented! This is called a “hanging indentation” and it is a part of proper MLA formatting.Remember, it is incredibly important that you include a Works Cited entry for every story that you use in your paper, even if you do not directly quote from that story. Failing to cite a story is plagiarism, and will cause you to fail your paper.3942080180850Check out this website for more helpful information! ................
