Works Cited

Use the Son of Citation web site to format your sources in APA Style. The Works Cited page is part of your grade (will be graded in the Factual Support section of the rubric). Please submit the Works Cited page with your final publication.

1. You need to have 3 pages open simultaneously: "Sources" (googledocs), a new page called "Works Cited" (googledocs) and a browser. Please remember that you need a minimum of 3 sources (one must be an interview with an expert).
2. In the browser, follow this link: http://citationmachine.net/
3. Choose "APA" from the left menu.
4. Choose print or non-print format (i.e. web page, electronic book, online media, etc.) from the left menu of the "APA" page. Make sure you are choosing the correct format for the source!
5. Using your "Sources" doc, plug info into the Citation Machine site. If any info, such as author or date is missing, leave the field blank.
6. When all info is plugged in, hit "submit". A grey dialog box with the formatted citation will appear at the top of the page.
7. Copy and paste the info from the gray dialog box into the "Works Cited" doc. Please re-read the citation to make sure there are no errors such as the words "Initials" or "Author" - this means that you did not format it correctly.
8. Once steps #4-#7 are done for each source, put the sources in alphabetical order and number them.
9. Make sure the page is titled, "Works Cited" and share with me via googledocs.

***If you have done any of the steps incorrectly, please go back and revise your work and reshare via googledocs. This is also a classwork grade!***
