Citing Your Sources

Many of you are completing research projects, papers and assignments.  You know that any information that you do not create MUST be properly cited, but do you know how to do so?  The following website will help you figure out what information you need to include for each type of source you encounter and how to properly structure a Works Citied page. 

Make sure you check with your teacher to see if they want you to use MLA (usually humanities) or APA (usually science) style.
