MINI-LESSON

Copy in Notebook: New Entry Title: Citations and Works Cited Page (aka a Bibliography)

CITATIONS
a quote (evidence) from or reference to a book, paper, or author. Think of it as 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 and 2) Works Cited Entries

Inline Citation Example
Ha believes she is smart because "no one knows" (Lai, 2).

WORKS CITED ENTRY

...on a WORKS CITED PAGE - A works cited page is a list of stuff you used (books, websites, etc..) during your research for the body of an essay or presentation.
