Writing Titles
SPI 0701.1.13 – Select the appropriate use of underlining/italicizing with titles,
specific words, numbers, and letters.
Underlining/Italicizing
ALWAYS completely underline (when writing) or italicize
(when typing):
book titles,
movie titles,
album titles,
magazine/newspaper titles,
titles of television shows,
titles of works of art, and
titles of plays!
Quotation Marks
Consider that
book titles,
movie titles,
album titles,
magazine/newspaper titles,
titles of television shows,
titles of works of art, &
titles of plays!
are MAJOR works, which are made up of smaller parts, so
they are underlined or italicized…
Quotation Marks
What would come INSIDE a major work would be considered a minor
work (a PART, not the WHOLE), so we put it in quotation marks, but we
CAPITALIZE it just as we would the major works.
Minor works include:
book chapters, short stories, and poems;
movie chapters;
song titles;
magazine and newspaper articles;
television episodes; and
acts or scenes in plays.
Quotation Marks
Remember this helpful tidbit:
most major works can be bought in a store,
but most minor works cannot!
For example:
• I can buy a BOOK (major) in a store, but I cannot buy just a
book CHAPTER (minor).
• I can buy a MAGAZINE (major) in a store, but I cannot buy
just a magazine ARTICLE (minor).
• I can buy a DVD of a TV SHOW (major) in a store, but I
cannot buy just a TV show EPISODE (minor).
