1. How to Cite

2. Step 3: Double check
If you can, always try to find information to back up your sources
Don’t base a whole paper on a claim you can only find once on a .com site
*Keep track of your sources as you find them, or citing becomes difficult!*

3. How to CITE We will be using MLA citations
Next to any information you get from a source (even if it’s not a direct quote!) you must include a parenthetical citation
At the end of your paper/presentation, you will have a Works Cited
On the next couple slide, write everything that is in PURPLE

4. Parenthetical citations
A parenthetical citation must include the author’s last name and the publication date.
Example:
Raising geese requires at least 10 square feet for every 2 geese (Laster, 2009).
If you don’t know the author’s name, include a short version of the title.
If you don’t know the date, use “n.d.”
Raising geese requires at least 10 square feet for every 2 geese (Geese Raising, n.d.).

5. A FULL Citation A full citation must include: Example:
Author’s last and first name(s)
The title of the article/book
The organization/website/publisher
The web address
The publishing date
Last, First. “Title”. Organization, web address, date.
