For homework this week, you will be completing a Works Cited page!
- Find at least 6 sources (internet web pages, videos, newspaper articles, books, people to interview, etc) that relate specifically to your topic (the topic you wrote your proposal and outline on).
- Scan over each source carefully to make sure it will actually help you accomplish the three reasons in your thesis. No need to spend the time citing sources that won't help you!
- IE: If your thesis is: "Cats are the best animal because they are friendly, cute, and helpful," the following sources wouldn't be useful if they said:
- Alligators are the best animal.
- Cats are the best animal because they are funny.
- Go to Easybib.com and input all of the needed information that you can find.
- Easybib.com will try to input some of the information for you, but usually can't find everything so you need to find pieces like the publisher or the year of publication.
- Make sure you click the box that says to include the URL in the citation.
- Make your Works Cited Page in the format you see at the bottom of this post--listing the sources alphabetically using their first letter.
- Post this page on Google Drive in our class folder.
For sources, keep in mind the following criteria:
- No Wikipedia or other crowdsourced website (Answers.com, WikiAnswers.com, etc)
- Make sure it seems well-designed and well-written.
- Well-known sources are not required, but tend to be more reliable than non-well-known sources (New York Times vs. Bob's Cool News Blog)
