IAS Research/Works Cited

We will continue research for the "I am somebody" (IAS) essay. You and your partner will need to work on one document together. One of you will need to get the document from Google Classroom, and "share" it through Google Drive with your partner. You will need to work complete the pre-writing and research table on the first page of the document today in class. 

As you do research, you will need to keep up with your sources in your Works Cited page. 

Since you are not limited to using AVL, you will have to develop the citation for your information on your own. To do this, go to CitationMachine.net. 

When you are on the website follow these instructions:

1. Choose MLA citation style
2. Choose "website"
3. Paste the URL (web address) from you article into the box provided
4. Click "search websites"
5. Most likely, the website will be found by Citation Machine. If the correct website is found choose "select"
6. A page will show you exactly what information they were able to collect. Click "continue to final step" at the bottom of the page.
7. Include any additional information you can find that Citation Machine could not find (for example-publication date or publisher)
8. Copy and paste the completed citation to the Works Cited page on your "I am somebody" Essay document on Google Drive
9. You will need to do this for any new source of information you found for this essay.

If you are using information from your expository book (and you should), you can just copy and paste the citation from your Final Expository Book + Works Cited document on Google Drive to your "I am somebody" Essay document.
