delivering?4. What happens at the conclusion of the story?5. In your opinion, what is the major theme of

this story? Support your answer. Why do you think this is the theme?

questions for when we compare different versions of “Little Red Riding Hood.” At the end of class, be sure to put this piece of paper in your Language Arts folder so we will have it for future reference!

We have to give them credit…Whenever we use information that someone

else wrote, we must give the original author credit for his or her work. This is called citing the source.

For a webpage we need to gather the following information:

*Name of the author (if given)*Title of the article (in quotation marks)*Title of webpage (underlined)*Date you looked at the website (today!)*URL address (in < > )

Author•Oftentimes the author can be found at the very bottom of the page. Scroll to the bottom of the website.

•Only her first and last name are needed. The email address is not necessary.

“Title of the Article”The article is the actual story that you read.

Be careful! There are two different stories on this webpage, but you only read the first one.

Title of the WebpageYou can find the official title of the website at

very top of the page.

<The URL>The URL is the website address, located near

the top of the page.

Put it all together!Now you have all the necessary information

to complete your citation. Here is a model of what yours should look like. Fill in the information you just found, using the model below. Write this citation on the same piece of paper as the answers to your questions.
