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.
