Titles It’s the BIG and little trick!!
Big things and things that can stand on their own, like books, are underlined.
Little things that are dependent or that come as part of a group like chapters, are put into quotation marks.
• • For example, a CD or album are major (big) works that can be divided into smaller parts, or songs.
The song names (small part) are punctuated with quotation marks.
• For example:
The Sweet Escape
, by Gwen Stefani, includes the song “Wind It Up.”
• • • Underline any published collection, like a book of poetry.
Put the individual entry, like a poem, in quotation marks.
However, a long, epic poem that is often published on its own would be treated like a book.
The Odessey
is one example.
Titles to Underline A novel A play A film A painting A sculpture or statue A drawing A CD A TV series An encyclopedia A magazine A newspaper A Pamphlet
Titles to Put Into Quotation Marks Poem Short story A skit A commercial An individual show in a TV series(like “The Soup Nazi” on
