2. Use the important information that “hangs out” for each citation.

(THAT becomes the first part of your internal documentation!)

Ex. #1

Internal documentation: (Gramm 16)

Ex. #2 (Notice how I only took a part of the information “hanging out”–

up to the first noun.)

Round Top, Battle of.” The American

Civil War. Ed. Gary M. Sunshine.

Danbury: Grolier, 1994. Print.

4. Cross-check your Works Cited page with the body of your paper!

Have you used ALL of your Works Cited citations somewhere within your paper?

Do all of your parenthetical documentations “match up” EASILY to your Works Cited page?
