One For Each Type

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students learn the proper formatting of titles for different types of works. It presents two columns, one for titles that should be italicized or underlined (long works) and another for titles that should be enclosed in quotation marks (short works). Students are instructed to add examples of each type of work, such as a novel, a song, an album, or a short story, and to format these titles correctly in the spaces provided. The exercise is clearly aimed at distinguishing between the treatment of major and minor works in written formatting.

The worksheet is teaching students the standard practices for using italics/underlining and quotation marks when writing titles. It guides them to recognize the difference between longer, stand-alone works that require italics or underlining and shorter, often part of larger works that need quotation marks. By having students provide examples and format them, it reinforces the correct application of these conventions in writing. This activity aids in building their understanding of how to properly present titles in their essays, reports, and other written assignments.
