Mini Lesson- Italicizing and Underlining

Hey Everyone! I thought that it might be helpful to post some sections from

my mini-lesson for those of you who did make it to class on Wednesday.
Also here is a little added notes regarding Wednesday's class:
I really enjoyed the rest of the student's min-lessons. I think that everyone presented great topics, I especially enjoyed- Jamie's candy throwing! Anyway, here are some good points to remember regarding Italicizing and Underlining-


DO use italics for title and names for items such as:
Books, Newspapers, Magazines, Journals, Online Journals, Websites/Home Pages, Pamphlets, Films, Television Programs, Radio Programs, Long Poems, Plays

DO NOT use italics for titles such as: Short Stories, Chapters from Books,
Short Poems, Essay Titles, Article Titles

Rules for Italicizing:
Setting off Foreign Words and Phrases
Setting off Elements Spoken as Themselves, Terms Being Defined
Using Italics for EMPHASIS!

The same concepts exist for underlining as they do for italics: Books, Plays, Journals, Magazines, Pamphlets, Newspapers, and Long Poems
— but, there are a few added rules to underlining-
*Underline names of individual air, sea, space, and land craft.
*Underline foreign words not yet accepted to English.
*Underline numbers, symbols, letters, and words used to name themselves.
