Works Cited Page

After today's class we went over Chapter 5 of Night. We went over the main points that I covered in yesterday's post so I won't post it again here. In regards to these paragraphs, I know today's question was a hard one. But you should be able to at least look at your previous mistakes and not continue making the same ones. This is unacceptable. You can do better. If you're consistently getting the same grade that means you need to change what you're doing and try something different. OR come see me afterschool so we can work on it.

But in regards to the Works Cited page, here are the main points you need to know:

1. The Works Cited page is the LAST page of your research paper. Do not start the Works Cited page right after your concluding paragraph. The Works Cited page is its OWN page.

2. The Works Cited page is NOT double-spaced.

3. You must list your sources in ALPHABETICAL order starting with the author's LAST name.

4. The order goes:

Last name, First name. "Article Name." Where It's From.

5. Every line after the first line of one source must be INDENTED. It will look something like this:

Hafner, Katie. “‘Defriending’ Facebook: When Social Networking Starts to Get in the Way of
           Real Life, Some Teens Are Deciding to Log Off.” New York Times Upfront.

If you have any questions with formatting, please come see me or Mr. Hannah afterschool so we can answer them. You will lose serious points if your formatting is incorrect now that we've shown you the proper way of doing so.
