It’s the BIG and little trick!!Big things and things that can stand on their own, like books, are underlined.

Little things that are dependent or that come as part of a group like chapters, are put into quotation marks.

Titles

• For example, a CD or album are major (big) works that can be divided into smaller parts, or songs.

• The song names (small part) are punctuated with quotation marks.

• For example: The Sweet Escape, by Gwen Stefani, includes the song “Wind It Up.”

• Underline any published collection, like a book of poetry.

• Put the individual entry, like a poem, in quotation marks.

• However, a long, epic poem that is often published on its own would be treated like a book. The Odessey is one example.

A novel A play A film A painting A sculpture or statue A drawing A CD A TV series An encyclopedia A magazine A newspaper A Pamphlet

Titles to Underline
