MLA Worksheet: Practice Works Cited Page | PDF | Publishing - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to create correct MLA Works Cited entries for each source. We’ll follow the 8th edition of MLA style (which was current when this worksheet was made, and still widely used in schools).

---

Source 1: Book by Robert Akins — *Greeks and Romans*

We are told:
- Author: Robert Akins
- Title: *Greeks and Romans*
- Publisher: Random House
- Place: Philadelphia
- Year: 1987
- Medium: Print

MLA format for a book:
Author Last Name, First Name. *Title of Book*. Publisher, Year.

Note: In MLA 8th ed., we no longer include city of publication unless it’s needed for clarity (like if publisher is obscure). But since the example given includes “Philadelphia,” and this is a practice sheet that may expect older formatting, we’ll match the sample provided in #1.

Sample from worksheet #1 shows:
> Akins, Robert. *Greeks and Romans*. Philadelphia: Random House, 1987. Print.

So we’ll follow that exact format for consistency with the worksheet.

✔ Entry 1:
Akins, Robert. *Greeks and Romans*. Philadelphia: Random House, 1987. Print.

Source 2: Book by Henry Goldman and Elizabeth Howard — *Ancient Civilizations*

Given:
- Authors: Henry Goldman and Elizabeth Howard
- Title: *Ancient Civilizations*
- Publisher: Gold House
- Place: Philadelphia
- Year: 1989
- Medium: Print

For two authors: list both, first author as “Last, First”, second as “First Last”.

Format:
Goldman, Henry, and Elizabeth Howard. *Ancient Civilizations*. Philadelphia: Gold House, 1989. Print.

(Note: The worksheet’s own answer for #2 only lists Henry Goldman — but that’s incorrect per MLA rules. Since both authors are named, we must include both.)

But wait — let’s check the worksheet’s own example for #2:

It says:
> Goldman, Henry. *Ancient Civilization*. Philadelphia: Gold House, 1989. Print.

That’s missing Elizabeth Howard and has a typo (“Civilization” instead of “Civilizations”). So we should correct it.

However, the instruction says: “Use any of the links below to create entries...” — meaning we’re supposed to make our own correct entries, not copy the flawed examples.

So we will do it correctly.

✔ Entry 2:
Goldman, Henry, and Elizabeth Howard. *Ancient Civilizations*. Philadelphia: Gold House, 1989. Print.

Source 3: Article in Encyclopedia — “Writing Utensils”

Given:
- Article title: “Writing Utensils”
- Encyclopedia title: *Encyclopedia of the Mediterranean*
- Edition: 5th
- Year published: 1985
- Medium: Print

MLA format for encyclopedia article:
“Article Title.” *Encyclopedia Title*, edition, year, page numbers (if known), medium.

Since no pages are given, we omit them.

Also note: The worksheet’s own example for #3 repeats the same line twice — probably a mistake.

Correct format:
“Writing Utensils.” *Encyclopedia of the Mediterranean*, 5th ed., 1985. Print.

✔ Entry 3:
“Writing Utensils.” *Encyclopedia of the Mediterranean*, 5th ed., 1985. Print.

Source 4: Internet article by Joan Ingram — “The Secrets of the Greeks”

Given:
- Author: Joan Ingram
- Article title: “The Secrets of the Greeks”
- No publishing date
- Viewed on: 2/2/04 → which means February 2, 2004
- URL: http://www.greeksecrets.com

MLA format for online source with no date:
Author. “Title.” *Website Name*, Date accessed, URL.

Important: If no publisher or site name is given, use the URL domain or describe it. Here, the URL is greeksecrets.com — so we can treat that as the site name.

Also, MLA 8th ed. uses “Accessed” followed by date.

Format:
Ingram, Joan. “The Secrets of the Greeks.” *GreekSecrets.com*, accessed 2 Feb. 2004, http://www.greeksecrets.com.

Note: Some teachers prefer “n.d.” for no date, but MLA 8 doesn’t require it if you have access date.

✔ Entry 4:
Ingram, Joan. “The Secrets of the Greeks.” *GreekSecrets.com*, accessed 2 Feb. 2004, http://www.greeksecrets.com.

Source 6: Documentary — *The Beauty of Greek Architecture*

Given:
- Title: *The Beauty of Greek Architecture*
- Director: Alexander Morrow
- Producer/Distributor: Westing Forge
- Year: 2001

MLA format for film/documentary:
*Title*. Directed by Director Name, performance by Performer (if relevant), Distributor, Year.

Here, no performers mentioned, so skip that.

Format:
*The Beauty of Greek Architecture*. Directed by Alexander Morrow, Westing Forge, 2001.

Medium? Usually for films, we add “Film” at end, but MLA 8 often omits medium if clear from context. However, many school worksheets still want “Film” or “DVD” etc.

Looking at previous entries, they all end with “Print” — so for consistency, maybe add “Film”?

But actually, MLA 8 does NOT require medium anymore. However, since this is a practice sheet from before 2016 (based on dates like 2004 view date), it might expect medium.

Wait — the worksheet itself doesn’t show an example for video. Let’s look at standard MLA 8 for film:

Example from Purdue OWL (linked in worksheet):
*Citizen Kane*. Directed by Orson Welles, RKO Radio Pictures, 1941.

No medium listed.

But some high school teachers still want “Film” at end.

To be safe, and since other entries say “Print”, perhaps add “Film”.

Actually, checking the original worksheet’s structure — all printed sources say “Print”. For non-print, we should specify.

I think best practice here is to follow modern MLA 8: no medium required.

But let’s see what the student is expected to do. Since the worksheet gives URLs and print examples, and this is a documentary, I’ll go with:

*The Beauty of Greek Architecture*. Directed by Alexander Morrow, Westing Forge, 2001.

If teacher wants medium, they can add “Film” — but officially, MLA 8 doesn’t require it.

Alternatively, to match the pattern of the worksheet (which adds “Print” even though it’s redundant now), maybe add “Film”.

Hmm. Let me check the linked resource: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/

Purdue OWL example for film:
*Casablanca*. Directed by Michael Curtiz, Warner Bros., 1942.

No medium.

So I’ll omit medium.

✔ Entry 6:
*The Beauty of Greek Architecture*. Directed by Alexander Morrow, Westing Forge, 2001.

Now, compiling all corrected entries:

Final Answer:

Akins, Robert. *Greeks and Romans*. Philadelphia: Random House, 1987. Print.

Goldman, Henry, and Elizabeth Howard. *Ancient Civilizations*. Philadelphia: Gold House, 1989. Print.

“Writing Utensils.” *Encyclopedia of the Mediterranean*, 5th ed., 1985. Print.
