Once you have completed your research, you then need to create your Works Cited List. Below are the guidelines you should follow:

Center the title Works Cited one inch from the top of the page. Do not use quotation marks, underscore, or italics. Use initial uppercase letters.

Double-space the entire page

Begin the first entry one double space below the title.

Begin all entries at the left margin, but subsequent lines are indented five spaces.

Adhere to MLA format for citations.

Enter all sources in alphabetical order by the first word on you bibliography card. If your entry starts with a title, and it begins with A, An, or The, alphabetize using the next word.
