Works Cited example

Works Cited example We do works cited pages to give credit to the places we’ve collected research and information from. Since none of us lived during the times of Westward Expansion, we can’t ever claim the information as our own.

Works Cited example During these slides, you will find different examples of how I expect your works cited page to be completed for your Westward Expansion project.

https://www.history.com/topics/lewis- and-clark Works Cited example First off, we need a place of information. Click the link below to get an idea of a typical page of research. I’m going to use Lewis and Clark. https://www.history.com/topics/lewis- and-clark

Works Cited example Below, I’ve copied and pasted the first sentence from the article on the slide before. Before we can use this information there are a few things we need to do. Meriwether Lewis was an American explorer, who with William Clark led the Lewis and Clark Expedition through the uncharted American interior to the Pacific Northwest in 1804– 06.

Works Cited example The information may be useful, but right now, it’s not in my own words. By rewording, or paraphrasing information, we can develop a better understanding of what we’ve learned, while also not stealing all the hard work someone has done. Meriwether Lewis was an American explorer, who with William Clark led the Lewis and Clark Expedition through the uncharted American interior to the Pacific Northwest in 1804– 06.

Works Cited example On this slide, I have the same sentence as before, but right underneath that, I’ve reworded the information to better understand it in a way that makes sense for me. ORIGINAL: Meriwether Lewis was an American explorer, who with William Clark led the Lewis and Clark Expedition through the uncharted American interior to the Pacific Northwest in 1804–06. REWORDED: Lewis and Clark were American explorers who mapped out the Louisiana Purchase all the way to the Pacific Ocean from 1804 to 1806.

Works Cited example Now with this reworded fact, I can continue. It’s important to remember where the information comes from, so below, I have the link saved that I got the information from. REWORDED: Lewis and Clark were American explorers who mapped out the Louisiana Purchase all the way to the Pacific Ocean from 1804 to 1806. https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and- clark

Your works cited page should look something like this: Works Cited example Your works cited page should look something like this: Source 1 https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and-clark (1) Lewis and Clark were American explorers who mapped out the Louisiana Purchase all the way to the Pacific Ocean from 1804 to 1806. (1)

Works Cited example Source 1 You may have noticed the (1) after both the link and the fact. This is because I want whoever views my project to know that this piece of information came from this source. Now whenever I use a fact that shows up from this link, I can always show it! Source 1 https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and-clark (1) Lewis and Clark were American explorers who mapped out the Louisiana Purchase all the way to the Pacific Ocean from 1804 to 1806. (1)

Works Cited example The next few slides will continue to show some examples with this idea in action

https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and-clark (1) Works Cited example Lewis and Clark were American explorers who mapped out the Louisiana Purchase all the way to the Pacific Ocean from 1804 to 1806. (1)   “Lewis served as the field scientist, chronicling botanical, zoological, meteorological, geographic and ethnographic information.” (1)  https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and-clark (1)

https://www.biography.com/people/groups/lewis-and-clark (2) Works Cited example Lewis and Clark’s group was called the Corps of Discovery, and along the way, they faced many challenges like hunger, illness, injury, and even death. The only person who died on the trip was Charles Floyd. (2)   https://www.biography.com/people/groups/lewis-and-clark (2)   

Mr. Crisp’s Notes on Lewis and Clark (3) Works Cited example On Lewis and Clark’s journey, 40 men set out to explore the unknown land of the Louisiana Purchase. (3)   Mr. Crisp’s Notes on Lewis and Clark (3) *This is meant to show how you would take information from a non-link source like a powerpoint.*

Works Cited example Let’s take a look at the second example from Source 1.   “Lewis served as the field scientist, chronicling botanical, zoological, meteorological, geographic and ethnographic information.” (1)  https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and-clark (1) You may notice that this fact is surrounded by quotes…

https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and-clark (1) Works Cited example “Lewis served as the field scientist, chronicling botanical, zoological, meteorological, geographic and ethnographic information.” (1)  https://www.history.com/topics/lewis-and-clark (1) Sometimes, facts are worded in a way that re-wording them does more harm than good. Sometimes you can’t pass up information the researcher before you gives. In this case, it’s okay to take the exact quote from the researcher. All your pieces are still there, the link and the source number, but by putting the fact in quotes, you are letting your reader know that this is a special quote that you wanted to save entirely.

What happens if you have a video? Works Cited example What happens if you have a video?

Works Cited example Depending on how the video is used, consider a few things: 1) If your video is on a link, copy the link like the examples before, and still mark it as a source. 2) Try and give the time that you want the viewer to start watching. 3)This helps make sure that time is not wasted and that the best information is seen.

Works Cited example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iydRk C0gMZI&t=2s The above video is only a few minutes long. If your goal is to have the viewer see the whole video, simply list the video as a source. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iydRk C0gMZI&t=2s (4)

Works Cited example If you end up quoting a fact from the video, you can just follow the steps from earlier slides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iydRkC0gMZI&t=2s (4) “By 1848, thousands upon thousands left in search of gold.” (4) _______________________________________________ However, if you only want a certain portion viewed, simply put the source, followed by a timestamp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iydRkC0gMZI&t=2s (4) 1:30-2:16

The next slide will show you an example of this. Works Cited example Lastly, pictures work in similar ways as videos and links. If you find a picture you want to use, post the link to it in your works cited, and on your presentation, give the title and source in the caption. The next slide will show you an example of this.
