Major Or Minor

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a list of titles and asks students to categorize each as either a major or a minor work. The students are to use the correct formatting to indicate their choices: titles of major works are typically italicized, while titles of minor works are not. Titles provided include a range of examples, from movies and books to newspapers and songs. By marking each title as “A” for major work or “B” for minor work, students demonstrate their understanding of how titles should be treated in written formatting.

The purpose of the worksheet is to help students practice identifying whether a given title represents a major or a minor work based on standard conventions in writing. It teaches the importance of recognizing the distinction between these categories, as this affects how titles are formatted in academic papers and published material. This activity is designed to reinforce the concept that major works are generally italicized, while minor works are placed in quotation marks. By completing this exercise, students enhance their knowledge of proper formatting and improve their attention to detail in written communication.
