About this worksheet
A title is capitalized, then marked to show what kind of work it is. A whole work, like a book, a magazine or a movie, is underlined (or set in italics when typed).
A short work that sits inside a bigger one, like a poem, a song, a story or a chapter, goes in quotation marks.
A worked example
We borrowed the book the lantern tree from the library.
- Find the title: the lantern tree.
- Capitalize its important words: The Lantern Tree.
- It is a book, a whole work, so underline it.
Answer: The Lantern Tree, underlined, because it is a whole book.
The common mistake
What it looks like: Putting a song title in quotation marks but forgetting to capitalize it: "summer rain".
Why it happens: The quotation marks feel like the whole job, so the capitals get left out.
How to fix it: Do it in two steps: capitalize the title first, then underline it or add the quotation marks.
