Works Cited Page:

 * In the header: student’s last name, 1 space, and then the page number without writing page, p., pg. Just write the number.
 * Center the words Works Cited. Do NOT underline. Do NOT bold. Do NOT italicize. The only letters that must be capitalized are W and C. The word Works is plural; do not forget the s.
 * Arrange your bibliography cards in alphabetical order and then transfer the information to a Works Cited page. Entries must be put in alphabetical order by author’s last name. If the criticism does not have an author, then the entry is put in alphabetical order by the next piece of the entry, usually the title of the article.
 * The entire Works Cited page is double spaced. Type in Times New Roman style font and in size 12 point.
 * All entries are in hanging indent format. This format means the entry looks like the reverse of how a paragraph starts. In other words, do not indent the first line. Tab in once for every line that follows the first line.
