The Works Cited Page is The final page of your paper where all the resources you used are listed in alphabetical order. The works cited page has specific formatting...

The words Works Cited are on the top of your page and are centered.

The entire page is double-spaced without extra spaces between the entries.

The entries are listed alphabetically. Do not list them using numbers.

Basic Elements of a Works Cited Entry: 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Author or contributor (last name, first name) 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Title of the article, image, video, etc. (in quotation marks) 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Title of the resource (in italics) 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Editor, translator, performer, or other contributors 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Version or edition (if it has been published multiple times) 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Number or volume (something so long it is published in multiple parts) 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Publisher (the company responsible for the piece) 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Publication or copyright date 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Location (page, web address, document number, disc, etc.)

Please make an effort to do your best!

Not every resource will include every basic element. For example, if your resource does not have an editor, skip that part.&nbsp;

Basically, the first word <a href="bookcreator://page/hsvRmbipT4uPr0hDMuslwA/left">*(or words)</a> in your full citation is used as an in-text citation in the body of your writing.

Why? To connect the reader to the correct resource.

Ethical Use of Information: To use the work of others, you need to understand citation and the correct use of quotations and paraphrases.

Intellectual Property: Creations of the mind such as literature, art, inventions, logos, and conceptualizations protected by copyright, trademark, or patent. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Copyright: legal protections given to an author or creator &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trademark: legal protections given to a manufacturer or company &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Patent: legal protections given to an inventor

Direct Quotation: Using the exact words of another person and identifying the use with quotation marks and a citation.&nbsp;

Paraphrase: Explaining the meaning of another’s writing or work but putting it into your own words. Teachers like to see this because it shows you understand your topic. A paraphrase needs a citation.

Plagiarism: Copying another person’s intellectual property on purpose or by accident, trying to pass off another person’s work as your own, or using your own work for multiple assignments in various classes.

Summary: A short review of the main points of a longer piece of work. This needs a citation.&nbsp;

Works Cited: The final page of your paper where all the resources you used are listed in alphabetical order. The works cited page has specific formatting&nbsp;(see page <a href="bookcreator://page/CM522ydbQoGRVku_K35j4Q/left">10</a>).

In-Text Citation: Also known as a parenthetical citation, it is found in the body of your paper or essay to alert the reader where you have blended another’s ideas, words, facts, or data into your writing&nbsp;(see page <a href="bookcreator://page/bg70Xv6xSKKlWyoHOjc7oA/left">20</a>).

Resources: Anything you consult to learn more about your topic or information by another person you use to emphasize a point you are making in your writing. These include books, articles (online or in print), images, video, graphs, statistics, primary sources, and secondary sources. Basically, anything you look up to assist you when writing about a topic. Primary sources: a piece of information created during the time period you are studying: journals, letters, maps, interview transcripts, autobiographies, and other creations that have not been altered. Secondary sources: anything that provides information about a topic that is not first-hand.

Some teachers will have you submit your works cited page to a librarian to have them look it over. It's a super easy process grade if you make a strong effort! Here's a rubric the librarians may use. It goes along with the works cited checklist on page <a href="bookcreator://page/CM522ydbQoGRVku_K35j4Q/left">10</a>.
