Creating a Works Cited Page

A "Works Cited" page is an important part of any research paper.  It tells readers where all of the information in the research paper came from or the sources you paraphrased in your writing.  There are different ways to format a Works Cited page and it is important to pay attention to these details when you are in college.  For this project, I am asking you to create a page that lists ALL of the research sources you used for this project - that means ALL websites, all books, all magazines, all movies or TV shows, all interviews, etc.

Here are some websites where you can find more information about how to create a proper Works Cited page and below is an example page:
