Day 12: Citation Styles

We will finish up paraphrasing and quoting from the last class period.

You will be able to:

-Learn about the conventions of each of the citation styles listed above from the presentations prepared by their groupmates in class.
-Become familiar with sample citations of a variety of sources used in the academic writing.
-Practice group work and presentation skills while working on their mini presentations in class.

I will introduce citation styles with THIS POWERPOINT.

You will then get into groups according to the citation style you want to use on your final research paper.

Preparing Presentations
Each group will prepare a Powerpoint presentation illustrating what an in-text citation looks like AND what a references page entry looks like according to your groups style. You should also tell what basic information needs to be included in an in-text citation and what information should be included in a references page entry.

I will grade the reference list and in-text citations of your literature review and final research paper based on the information provided in these PPTs, so make sure that the information provided is correct.
