Page to Screen Club: Showing Titles

Use italics, underlining or quotation marks for the titles of works.

Long works and short works

Titles of long works, such as books, movies, magazines, newspapers, albums and TV series, are written in italics when you type. When you write by hand, underline them instead.
Typed: We watched Starfish Summer.
Handwritten: We watched Starfish Summer.
Titles of short works, such as poems, songs, short stories, chapters, articles and TV episodes, go inside quotation marks: We sang "Pancake Morning."

The Page to Screen Club at Willow Creek School reads a book together, watches the movie made from it, and then talks about how the two are different. Club members also bring in poems, songs, magazine articles and TV episodes they like. When they write about these works, they need to show each title the right way.

Sort the titles: should each one be in italics (or underlined), or in quotation marks?
