<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I&#39;ve read that you don&#39;t need a bibliography but a Works Cited page is different, should we include one of those?</p>

<hr />
<p>Hi Mariana,</p>
<p>No you do not need to submit a Works Cited page, just cite your sources in the text using parenthetical citation. Include the author and year in parethesis after quotations or ideas received from another source. Thanks!</p>
