Preparing the Works Cited

Preparing the Works Cited Page

1. Make corrections to annotated bibliography entries.
2. If you found new sources that you did not include on the annotated bibliography, you will have to make new bibliography entries for them.
3. Delete the annotations from the annotated bibliography.
4. Delete the heading. (The works cited page is the last page in your paper, so it does not need a heading.)
5. Copy and paste everything that is left onto a new page (the last page) of Rough Draft #4 (or your most recent draft).
6. Title this page: Works Cited (The title goes on the first line at the top of the page and is centered. It is NOT bolded, NOT in quotation marks or underlined!!!)
7. Like the rest of your paper, the works cited page is ONLY double-spaced. Delete any extra spaces between entries.
8. All entries should have a hanging indent (see instructions below)
9. All entries should be in alphabetical order according to author’s last name or first major word in the entry (not by “a” “an” or “the”).
10. Entries should NOT be numbered anymore. (But you still need to know which source number you labeled each source. Next, you will replace the source number with appropriate citation information.)
11. Below is an example of a works cited page for a paper that is 2 pages long. Your works cited page should have 6 entries because you were to cite all 6 sources.
