When creating your “Works Cited” page, remember to:
· Alphabetize each entry by first letter (ignore A, An, The).
· Indent the 2nd and 3rd lines of each citation.
· Italicize all titles of books, magazines, films, etc.
· Double-space all entries. (The following are single-spaced to save space only)
· The basic order of a citation is A.T.P.…author, title, publisher information (city: publisher, date)
· For teachers who require the use of URLs, MLA suggests that the URL appear in angle brackets after the date of access. Break URLs only after slashes.
