Formatting titles
Key Notes:
📚 Formatting Titles ✨
| What is a Title? |
A title is the name of a book, story, poem, article, or any work. 📝
It tells us what the work is about.
Example:
- Charlotte’s Web 🕸️
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛
| How to Format Titles? 🖍️ |
There are three main ways to format titles:
Use Capital Letters 🅰️
- Capitalize all important words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives).
- Do not capitalize small words like a, an, the, in, on, of.
Example:
- The Lion and the Mouse 🦁🐭
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone ⚡
Use Italics or Underline ✏️
- Books, movies, and newspapers → italicize or underline
- Italics example: Matilda
- Underline example: Matilda
Use Quotation Marks “” 🗨️
- Short works like poems, songs, and short stories → use quotation marks
- Example:
- “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” ⭐
- “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” 🐇
| Quick Rules ✅ |
| Type of Work | Formatting | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Book / Newspaper / Movie 🎬 | Italics or Underline | The Jungle Book |
