Works Cited Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: L.9-10.3.A
A works cited page is a supreme tally of all the works you have specifically referenced in your paper or essay. This is different from a bibliography which is a list of all the works you have used or reviewed to help you compose your paper. The fundamental purpose of a works cited page is to arrange all the resources you have used so that a reader may go back and realize the facts for themselves. They follow various formats, depending on your audience. In most cases the default is to use the MLA style of citations. These worksheets will help you properly arrange, compose, and understand works cited pages.
