How to Create Your Works Cited Page

This week, we complete lessons on how to determine the validity of sources on the internet.  You also should have completed 5 works cited cards and have 10 evidence cards for your research topic.

In this lesson we will take our works cited cards and format them into a works cited list.

3. Open word on your computer.  In the center top title the page "Works Cited" 
4. Save on your USB drive as "WorksCitedYourLastName"
5. Go to the following website: Son of Citation Machine
6. Choose the type of source. 
7. Enter the information from the source card into the fields (i.e. author's last name in the author's last name box). 
8. At the end click "Make Citation"
9. The citation will appear in a box.  Select it all and right click and choose copy. 
10. Go to your word document.  Go two spaces below title and change to left justify margin. Right click and paste the citation into your document.   Save your document so you don' t lose what you just added.  
11. Repeat for each card steps 4 through 10.  
12. When you paste, put the entries in alphabetical order by last names. 
13. For each entry, the first line should be flush to the left margin and the lines below indented.  There are no extra spaces between entries.
