For many of us, writing reports in High School was a challenging activity. Even though we probably all learned all the rules of writing, what we don't use, we tend to forget. The MLA handbook is an excellent reference for writing high school and college term papers, but most of us don't have a copy on our shelf. A few simple rules for giving credit for songs: When referencing a song title, put
. the title in quotation marks. When referencing an album or CD title, put it in italics. Or, if you're handwriting the paper, underline the CD title instead. For more writing reference rules, see http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/italics.htm.
