A Step by Step Guide to Creating a Works Cited Slide

3. Put your citations in ABC (alphabetical) order by author’s last name (or title if there is no author listed).

4. Format your citations. Times New Roman 12 is the MLA standard for a document, but for a slide, you may want a bigger font.

5. Indent your citations properly. The first line of each citation goes on the left margin; subsequent lines of the same citation are indented. (This is called a hanging indent. Watch this video tutorial for how to do this in Google Docs.)
