Questions we’ve been asked…
• How can I tell if this is common knowledge?
• Is a PDF cited like a book?
• What if I don’t have the page number
because I returned the book?
• Is the Christian Science Monitor a
newspaper or a magazine?
• How do I cite a web page in a database?
• What do I put in an annotation?
Format and export your
bibliography to a word
processor (or Google docs)
Review…
Specifically for History Fair Projects • Use MLA format
• Cite as you go (books, wikis, databases…)
• Add notes as you read, annotate to understand
• Organize notes in piles, add tags and reminders
• Build an outline, cluster your notes under headings
• Share your working list and notes
– Get feedback as you go
• Create a successful project!
