A works cited page is really
important to make sure you
don’t get in trouble for
stealing information from
another source.
Use the sample works cited
page here as a model.
Don’t bold or underline the
title.
To create the bibliography
entries, use
www.Easybib.com and plug
in each of the websites you
used in your research.
Entries are double spaced
and alphabetical, based on
the first word of the
bibliography.
Entries each have a hanging
indent, meaning all lines
after the first one are
tabbed in once.
Don’t bullet or number your
works cited page. Don’t
skip lines in between entries
either.
Works cited documents
need to be on their own
page. Do not add them to
the bottom of a page, even
if you have the room.
Please talk to your teacher
if you need any help with
this. That’s why we’re here!
