Underline, Italics, or Quotes?

Hi,

As a 5th grade teacher, I’ve always gotten the citing confused. We don’t do as many research projects as older kids but can somebody please tell me whether to use underline, italics, or quotes for the following:

1.) Title of a story from an anthology

2.) Title of a story book.

3.) Title of a song

4.) Title of a movie.

5.) Title of a poem.

6.) Title of a newspaper or magazine article.

Thanksk so much!

underline and italics most of the time are used for the same thing italics only came into existence with the type writer and computer age. furthermore you only underline/italics major works so

1)Quotes

2)underline/italics

3)Quotes

4)underline/italics

5)Quotes

6)Quotes

hope that helps

I was taught, as an editor, the only title underlined is that of a book, while story titles, movies, songs, poems, and articles are in italics. If you’re uncertain, go with italics.

Whatever feels good. Go to your library and reads some pages from books by good writers. It’s a crap shoot. just write to make sense.
