Below you will find links to online resources that have been chosen by Ms. Martin to help with your assignments.
Proper Referencing
- Citation Maker (MLA)
- Sample MLA Works Cited (including List of Images Used)
-
a works cited is in alphabetical order, with hanging indents
- For any photos you use in a PowerPoint, pamphlet or other publication, remember to number the photo in the bottom right-hand corner, and create a separate numbered List of Images Used. Do NOT cite Google Images – cite the page where the photo is posted! Check out this “Northern Leopard Frog” presentation as refresher.
-
- Britannica ImageQuest – for royalty-free images, and the citations for your list of images used! (ask your teacher or Ms. Martin for the username/password)
- Are your research sources CRAAP? Evaluate and find out!
