(WR1) Lesson Topic 4: Citing Sources

Lesson Topic 4: Citing Sources

The Works Cited is an alphabetized list of all sources in MLA format used in the essay. After you find all of your sources, you will be ready to set up your Works Cited. A complete Works Cited will be your final project for this module. 

Again, the Works Cited is different than a bibliography. The Works Cited is a list of all of the sources you used in your essay, and the Bibliography is all of the sources you read regarding your topic. Your Works Cited must be created in MLA format. Watch the video about Works Cited below.

The Works Cited page will have several Works Cited entries. The Works Cited entry is all of the publishing information of a certain source that is set up in a certain format. There are many ways that you can format sources in MLA format.

Remember that as you select your sources, make sure that the sources you choose are reliable and contain information that supports or proves your topic. If the website, article, or book you choose does not have information that supports your topic, you need to select a different source.
