Works Cited Page Entries
In MLA Style, your Works Cited page is the part of your paper where you list the sources you’ve referred to (cited) in your essay. It should start on a new page at the end of your paper, and it should begin with the words “Works Cited” centered at the top of the page. Entries for your Works Cited page should have the first line of each entry flush with the margin (that is, all the way to the left, not indented), but all other lines should be indented ½”, as below. Remember, it should include only those sources you’re actually citing in your paper.
You are responsible for making sure that your Works Cited page is a part of your paper, that it’s formatted correctly, and that every source you use is mentioned on it. If you want to use a source other than those we’ve talked about in class, please talk to me about it and I can help you through it.
In future classes, you’ll learn about how to format each individual Works Cited page entry. For now, though, since we’re using only sources that are a part of our course, I’ll list the Works Cited entries for each of our potential sources below.
