First of all, this must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document, so go ahead and open a Word document, setting up the page numbers in the right corner, but skipping the header typically found on page one (remember that a Works Cited page would never be the first page of an essay, so it should not have the left-hand header). Center your cursor on line one in the body of the document and type Works Cited – both words should be capitalized and because you will be citing more than one source, the Work becomes Works (plural).
This assignment asks you to begin your research for your argumentative essay by finding eight authoritative sources (4 that support your position and 4 that oppose your position) from the HCC Library system and create a Works Cited page.
