Citing Sources in a text A source is a place where you get information and quotes for an essay. You must cite these sources when you use that information in your essays. For example: – Raisnford has “good eyes” according to his companion Whitney (17). – This shows that the quote “good eyes” comes from page 17 in your textbook!
Citing your story at the end of your essay Create a new page and type “Works Cited” in the middle on the top line. Then write the following information in the given order. Think of it as a math formula. Plug in the info: Last Name, First Name. “Title of Story.” Title of Book. City published in: Publisher, Year. Print. Connell, Richard. “The Most Dangerous Game.” Elements of Literature. New York: Holt, Reinhart, and Winston, Print.
If you have an article from online Use the following formula to plug in your information. Last name, First name. “Title of article or webpage.”Title of website. Publishing organization. Date updated/written. Web. Date accessed. Smith, Joe. “Hitler.” Wikipedia. Wikipedia.org Web. 29 Sept 2010.
