How to cite sources

Here is an example of how to cite your history book as a source:

Hart, Diane. History Alive! The United States through Industrialism. Palo Alto, CA: Teachers’ Curriculum Instutite, 2005.


You will probably be using your textbook as a source for most of your classroom projects. Books, magazines, and the internet are all listed different ways. The way you list your sources in a project like this is called "citing your sources." When a teacher asks you to "cite your sources", they are asking you to make a list of everywhere you got your information. Below is some information that can help you list other types of sources.


Your "works cited page" (list of sources) might look something like this:
http://secondary.oslis.org/orig-steps/resources/cm/mlacitationss?plone_skin=OSLIS+Secondary+Theme

Works Cited:

Boritt, Gabor S. "Civil War." World Book Online. 10 September 1999.
.

Eiselen, Malcolm R. "Franklin, Benjamin." The World Book Encyclopedia. 1999.

Hart, Diane. History Alive! The United States through Industrialism. Palo Alto, CA: Teachers’ Curriculum Instutite, 2005.
