Citing Sources in a text
• A source is a place where you get information
and quotes for an essay.
• You must cite these sources when you use
that information in your essays.
• For example:
– Raisnford has “good eyes” according to his
companion Whitney (17).
– This shows that the quote “good eyes” comes
from page 17 in your textbook!
Citing your story at the end of your
essay
• Create a new page and type “Works Cited” in the
middle on the top line.
• Then write the following information in the given
order. Think of it as a math formula. Plug in the
info:
Last Name, First Name. “Title of Story.” Title of
Book. City published in: Publisher, Year. Print.
Connell, Richard. “The Most Dangerous Game.”
Elements of Literature. New York: Holt, Reinhart,
and Winston, 2007. Print.

citation, skip it.

page by alphabetical order of the first word of
the entry.
