Works Cited Page - Citing your Sources

Today's Goal: Create citations for all of the sources from which you gathered information for your essay. If you have an in-text citation for your work, it MUST be on the Works Cited Page.

The Plan:
  1. Book Love
  2. Learn about Citations, and create your Works Cited Page.
  3. Talk about embedding quotes
You will need the following links today:


YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
Your Works Cited page is supposed to be reference for your in-text citations.
This means that your citations IN your essay should match the ones on your Works Cited Page.

Sometimes, the citation creators (like CiteFast) don't find all the information, and you will need to go digging for ALL of this information.

For websites:
Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). Name of Site. Version number. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available). Medium of publication (Print/Web/etc.). Date of access (## Month Year).


For books:

Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication.





Important Dates and Homework:
  • Tomorrow, you will be taking a "Healthy Kids Survey" that I'm required to give you at the beginning of class, and then you will be doing some peer editing.
  • Your final paper is due on Turnitin.com by 11:59 pm on Friday, April 1. 
    • You will *hopefully* submit your final paper before you even leave class.
    • DO NOT turn it in LATE if you want to avoid a late penalty. This is one of those times where the deadline is strict.
