Last week, you chose a topic, casually researched it, and wrote a thesis statement on it! Then you posted your thesis statement to our Research Paper document on Google Drive. If you have not yet done this—definitely do it asap :D
For this week, you will be creating a Works Cited Page!
Works Cited Page:
- It is a document that tells all of the places you got your information, whether books, interviews, webpages, etc!
- Each source is called a "citation" on this page, and citations must have several different pieces of information and be in a certain fancy order. Fortunately, the internet can help us know what information is needed and in what order!!!
- Go to Easybib.com and tell the website whether you are citing a webpage, book, interview, etc.
- Fill out the information that Easybib.com asks to have
- For webpages, BE SURE to tell Easybib.com to "show URL" so that the webpage address is shown in the citation!
- Complete the citation and paste it into your Works Cited Page on Google Drive!
- Make sure you have at least 5 sources for your Works Cited Page.
**No need to write down information from these sources yet. Just find them, make sure they will be able to help you with your research paper topic thesis, and then cite them in a Works Cited Page!
(I know, this week had a lot of info; feel free to email me on Engrade if you have questions!!!)
Website Legitimacy:
- Sometimes it's tough to know whether a website is telling the truth or not! Here are some guidelines to help you figure out if a website it legitimate or not!
- .gov, .edu, and .org are usually legitimate
- .com can be legitimate, but not always
- Is it well-written?
- Is it well-designed?
- Is is well-known for being legitimate?
- Is the information consistent with what you're seeing from other websites?
