Activity to practice writing a Works Cited
On a separate sheet of paper, convert the information in each of the following references
into the correct form for a list of “Works Cited.” Use the appropriate model as a guide in the other document.
1. An article by Alex Yannis titled “In New League, Women Get Payoff and Payday” on page D5 of the April 13, 2001 issue of the New York Times.
2. An article by Nancy Franklin titled “Nonsense and Sensibility” on pages 96-97 of the March 6, 2000 issue of The New Yorker.
3. A book by Francis McInerney and Sean White called Futurewealth: Investing the in the Second Great Wave of Technology and published in New York by St. Martin’s in 2000.
4. A book by Ellen N. Junn and Chris Boyatzis titled Child Growth and Development and published in a seventh edition by McGraw-Hill in New York in 2000.
5. An article by Melinda Liu and Leila Aboud titled “Generation Superpower” dated April 11, 2001 and found on April 12, 2001 at in the online version of Newsweek. Note: the URL is no longer required by the MLA.
6. The movie, The Godfather from 1972 released by Paramount Pictures, starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
(for number 6, you may substitute the film you are doing for your research paper)
In your actual research paper, all the sources will be about your topic. This one is just for practice.
Use something that generates the correct MLA format, like easybib.com
Easy bib does much of the work and then YOU MUST EXPORT THE RESULTS TO MSWORD, not copy and paste it.
The items are alphabetized, not numbered and there are special “hanging indents” required. Easybib.com will do that all for you.
