Handbook

Works Cited Page

As we are a feeder school to Three Oaks High School, we also use the MLA format for sharing our sources of information. This is a separate page, called 'Works Cited'. This page should be numbered, as should all other pages in your essay. except the first page, in the upper right hand corner. Leave two lines in between the title of the page and your first source. Sources should be placed in alphabetical order on this page by last names of the author(s). If a source has no author or editor, alphabetize by the first word of the title other than a, an or the.

Do not indent the first line of each entry, but indent each subsequent line (use the TAB key). Put a space between each entry.
