     Mini-Lesson:  Citations and Works Cited Pages       

New Entry Title: Citations and Works Cited Page (Bibliography)

• CITATIONS
  a quote (evidence) from or reference to a book, paper, or author.  Think of it like a mailing address.  Citations help you find the source an author used.  They also help you avoid plagiarism.
  
  There are two types...1) In-line Citations (you already know this one)  Here's an example...
  
  Ha believes she is smart because "no one knows" (Lai, 2).
• AND....

• 2) WORKS CITED ENTRY on a WORKS CITED PAGE - A works cited page is a list of stuff you used (books, websites etc..) in the body of an essay or presentation.
  
  EXAMPLE...
  
  Works Cited Page
  "Blueprint Lays Out Clear Path for Climate Action." Environmental Defense Fund.
                 Environmental Defense Fund, 8 May 2007. Web. 24 May 2009.
  Clinton, Bill. Interview by Andrew C. Revkin. "Clinton on Climate Change." New York Times.
                New York Times, May 2007. Web. 25 May 2009.
  Dean, Cornelia. "Executive on a Mission: Saving the Planet." New York Times. New York
               Times, 22 May 2007. Web. 25 May 2009.
