WORKS CITED Or CONSULTED PAGE

WORKS CITED or CONSULTED PAGE

 A Works Cited page lists only those works cited in the essay.

 On the contrary, a Works Consulted page lists all the works you have read for the research project. (In our

RDP, this will amount to those sources from your group’s final annotated bibliography as well as those you

received during the Discovery phase, amounting to no fewer than 10 sources.)

 Centered on the top of the page will appear the words “Works Cited” or “Works Consulted” with no “page,”

with no bold face, with no italics, with no underlining, and with no quotation marks (unlike the way I have it

on the top of this page, which is for emphasis).

 Next, put each source in proper MLA format: (consult the textbook)

1) Author’s or Authors’ Names:  use the full name (first name, middle initial or name) as it appears on the title page  don’t get lazy & use only the card catalog; consult the book  some exceptions= JRR Tolkien (Jonathan Ronald Reuel), JK Rowling (Joanne Kathleen)

2) Titles:  use the full, unabridged title (including subtitles) as it appears on title page (article: “Senior Learners: Motivations and Composition Strategies for Teaching Students 55+.”)  *articles & prepositions are NOT capitalized in titles (unless, of course, they are the first word)

3) Place of Publication:  use the first listed city of publication (if several), no abbreviations  no state names, unless...  if unfamiliar or ambiguous city, include the postal abbreviation of state or province (London, Ontario) (no “NYC”)

4) Shorten Publisher’s Name:  drop “company,” “co.,” or “inc.” from name  only the first name if formed with 2+ names (Harcourt Brace= just Harcourt)  use UP for “university press” (Oxford UP)  spell out most professional organizations (National Council of Teachers of English, not NCTE)

5) Copyright Date:  no “1st ed.”  use latest date & edition (Reid, Stephen. The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writing. 5th ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice, 2000.)

 Use reverse indention if the information goes on to a second, third, or fourth line.

 Then, list each source alphabetically. (In our RDP, you will alphabetize regardless of what side the source supports, essentially mixing sources from both sides.)

 You do NOT need to include any annotations for these sources.

 Do NOT number each source.

 FORMAT:

o typed

o single-spaced

o with a font size of 12 and a font style of Times New Roman

o put the correct information in the upper-right-hand corner of each page (when incorporated into your

final essay, you will only need to place the correct header on this page, which will include your last

name, a dash, and the page number)
