Works  Cited  Practice  (25  points)  

Getting  Started:    Consult  the  Purdue  Owl  Online  Writing  Lab  “MLA   Works  Cited  Page:  Basic  Format”  to  help  you  complete  this  assignment.         https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/05/  

The  sections  that  will  be  most  helpful  to  you  are  the  following:  

1. MLA Works Cited Page: Books - A Work in an Anthology, Reference, or Collection

2. MLA Works Cited Page: Electronic Sources – A Page on a Website 3. MLA Sample Works Cited Page

   

Goal:  To  help  students  practice  proper  MLA  documentation  for   bibliographic  resources  used  in  their  essays  by  creating  a  mock  works   cited  page.         Directions:     1. Create  an  entry  for  “The  Fakebook  Generation”  from  the  New  York   Times  as  posted  on  Moodle.  (article  form  a  website)  

2. Create  an  entry  for  “Does  Social  Networking  Really  Connect  Us  to   Humanity”  from  the  Blair  Reader.  (article  in  an  anthology)  

3. Create  an  entry  from  a  resource  that  you  find  online  about  social   networking.  (article  from  a  website)  

4. Organize  your  entries  alphabetically  by  author  last  name.    If  there   is  no  author,  use  the  title  to  help  you  alphabetize.  

5. Place  the  words  Works  Cited  at  the  top  of  the  page,  but  do  not   bold  or  underline.  

6. Include  your  last  name  and  the  page  #  at  the  top  right  corner  of   the  page  but  no  MLA  style  heading  since  the  works  cited  page   does  not  have  a  heading.  

7. The  final  product  should  look  like  the  MLA  sample  works  cited   page  on  Purdue  Owl.    There  should  be  three  entries.    You  are  just   using  the  sources  I  specified.  

8. Submit  as  a  word  document.
