Don’t forget to keep a running list of all your URLs, including any photos. Remember: a list of websites is not a completed Works Cited! You have to use EasyBib.com to convert web addresses to the right format.
When creating each Easy Bib entry, check to make sure the article title is correct. If possible, fill in any missing information as well.
If you forget how to create a Works Cited, go look at the PowerPoint on my website. It has step-by-step instructions!
Make sure to completely address all aspects of each component of the project. There are multiple parts to each section, so be sure to read the assignment sheet carefully.
