Read the instructions carefully for each section and complete the tasks. Remember to capitalize the first word and all important words in titles.
Titles help us know the name of a book, a movie, or a song. When we write titles, we need to make sure we format them correctly. This means we either put them in italics (like this: _Charlotte's Web_) or we underline them (like this: Charlotte's Web). We also always capitalize the first word and all the important words in the title. Little words like 'a', 'an', 'the', 'and', 'but', 'or', 'for', 'nor', 'on', 'at', 'to', 'from', 'by' are usually not capitalized unless they are the first word of the title.
