Directions:
Here are some guidelines to remember:
Your Works Cited page should have a minimum of three entries: one entry MUST BE the memoir (your primary source).
Two entries must be articles connected to your thesis (at least one of those articles should come from the MDC databases, but both can come from the databases). You should use at least one literary analysis article, and one academic article may also be related to psychological, sociological, or historical analysis (ex. Trauma theory and the Holocaust). You can use two literary articles if you wish, but you have the option of using historical and other related research as well. Need Assignment Help?
Formatting for Works Cited:
Center the words Works Cited one inch from the top of the page.
Double-space within and between entries--no extra spaces between entries.
Every line after the first for each source is indented.
Sources are listed in alphabetical order.
You can use one of the citation builders to create the entry: Easy Bib, Citation Machine, or any other that you find reliable and helpful. Remember that these don't always provide you with the correct spacing and indentation, and you may have to tweak those in your thesis. Also, check that the entry looks like works cited entry should for the type of document you are citing-whether a journal article, an interview, a magazine article, a chapter from a book, etc.
Email your professor with questions. You want to get this right so that no points are lost to formatting errors.
The novel at least one database article and another article (from the database or not)
(Please note that you can list more than 3 sources-three is the minimum and must include each of the above)
Here is a sample Works Cited so you can see how the format should look:
Sample "Works Cited" Page
"Works Cited" is a list of citations at the end of a research thesis and is numbered as a continuation of the text. Items are alphabetized by author. When no author is given, alphabetize by title, ignoring "a", "an" or "the," if one of these is the first word. Use a five space indentation for all lines after the first entry. Double-space the entire list.
