How-To Guides


How to Prepare a Bibliography  Any paper or project you submit must include a bibliography which lists all of the resources you used in researching and preparing your work. At City High School, teachers prefer that you follow the format developed by the MLA (Modern Language Association).  Our Bibliography Style Sheet is based on MLA, 5th edition.  Also available here is a downloadable Bibliography Template.


How to Prepare an Outline  Many word processing programs have built-in outlining functions, but many of us have found these to be more frustrating than helpful. We recommend that you use the following instructions for manually formatting an outline. These instructions work on most versions of MS Word (Mac or PC), as well as many other word processing programs.  Also available here is a downloadable Outline Template.
