Works Cited Page

Works Cited instructions

A Works Cited needs the following items to be correct:

-The “Works Cited” is on its own page but still part of the same document as your essay.

-The title of this page is not creative; it is centered and simply worded as: Works Cited

-The entries are all in alphabetical order based on the first letter of the entries.

-Every entry begins along the left margin. If the entry is long enough to be on more than one line, then all of the following lines are indented ½” (see box on back side for help on this).

-This whole paper is all double-spaced. Just like in your essay, there are no extra spaces after each entry.
