  1. In-Text Citations and Works Cited Page

  2. Ways to Create a Lead-in for a Quote and How to Cite Them in the Text • Use the author’s name: According to Catherine Donaldson-Evans, “The potential for cheating , for instance, has increased with phones’ text messaging and picture taking capabilities” (para. 4). • Use the title of the article: In the article, “Digital Debate: Prepare kids for exams or life?”, it is stated that, “Today we would find it strange if students were not allowed to use paper and pencil when being tested” (Devaney, para. 6).

  3. Ways to Create a Lead-in for a Quote and How to Cite Them in the Text • Use the person’s name that is saying the statement (person is not the author): Peter Reimann, a professor of Sydney University, comments on the incorporation of technology in classrooms, “’The line between ‘learning from technology’ and ‘performing with technology’ needs to be carefully revisited all the time’” (Devaney, para. 5).

  4. Ways to Create a Lead-in for a Quote and How to Cite Them in the Text • When your article does not have an author: According to the experts at Cornell University, “Over half of today’s American teens have their own cell phone to use whenever they wish” (“Cell Phone’s Scary Statistics”, para. 8). • Works Cited: At the end of each article in your packet, the citation for that source is listed.

  5. Works Cited Page • Each article you quote from in your paper, citation information must appear on your Works Cited Page. • This is the last page of your paper. It has its own page, however, the header number should appear in the numeric order. For example: If your Works Cited Page is the 5th page of your paper, then your header,inthe upper right corner, would be your last name and the number 5.

  6. Works Cited Page • Your source must appear in alphabetical order according to the first letter in the source. • For example: “Cell Phone and Pager Issues.” would come before Donaldson-Evans, Catherine. on your Works Cited Page

  7. Works Cited Page • Also, the first line of your source on the Works Cited Page is not indented, but the second line is indented. For example: • Donaldson-Evans, Catherine. “Schools Make Rules for Cell Phone No-Nos.” Fox Features. Fox News, 23 Sep. 2004. Web. 6 Feb. 2010. • Pay close attention to the formatting! If something is italicized or punctuated, it must appear the exact same way!
