Work Cited pages

At the end of your essay you provide a thorough Work Cited page (or Bibliography) of sources used. The in-text citations parenthetical for each source should match its end citation's first work. For instance, if you cite (Lockwood, 43), then your end citation for the poem is going to start with the author's last name:

Lockwood, Patricia. "Rape Joke." The Awl. Mark Bibbins, ed. 25 July, 2013. Web. 4 Apr. 2016.


1. Have source out and available for you to look at. Identify the author(s)/text

• Look at source--your article could have more than two or three authors, so follow from there.

2. Identify the type of source (to find template). Make it simple on yourself: # of authors plus type of source is the starting point for writing an end citation.

• periodical
• audio/visual
• reference
• etc.

3. Write the end citations! Use something like Purdue's OWL MLA citation guide (they update there list, while some have old information. 

4. Alphabetize all sources by authors' last names, or by the first letter in end citation.
