Answer the two anonymous poll questions on the left side.

Objectives for today:

1. Define what a citation is and determine why it is useful

2. Describe the most commonly cited information and present several examples of citation styles

3. Compare citation styles and differentiate between them

4. Examine a variety of resources available to students conducting research and connect students with those resources

5. Show the basic breakdown of a citation and identify its components

Citations tell the reader that

the material or information

in a work

comes from another source

and allows the reader to find

the original source of that

information again.

CI·TA·TION

(plagiarism.org)

Most common information cited

Author information

Title of the work

Location and name of publishing company

Date published

Specific location of published material(page numbers, website, archival location)

So why should I be citing sources?

To show the amount of time and research you invested in

your project!

Citing from sources outside of yourself helps to bolster your argument

or the point of your project.

It allows someone to find the original source in case they

have questions or want to do further research.

By citing your sources, you can allow others to fact

check and compare statistics or data.

I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.

-Mark Twain

-Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince and Other Stories

But when do I cite something?

ALWAYS

Especially when you…

- Directly quote someone- Use a concept or idea from someone else- Reference another work or project- Are heavily influenced by another person’s work- Paraphrase someone

IT IS CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM IF

YOU DO NOT CITE A SOURCE

Ok, ok…So how do I cite?
