Objective: By the end of class, students will learn how to research a topic and create a reference page in order to obtain skills necessary for future academic and employment requirements.
DO NOW
Write down these three sites in your notebooks:
To create citations
1. KNIGHT CITE - http://www.calvin.edu/library/knightcite/
2. EASYBIB - http://www.easybib.com/
A full guide to MLA formatting
3. MLA Format - https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/
DIRECT INSTRUCTION
Demonstration of research and how to use Easybib.com.
1. Topic = Transgender social issues
2. Google the topic
3. Read through some information on different sites.
4. Determine REPUTABLE sites which means the information is credible. These sites are often .org or .edu or .gov
5. When you find a good source of information, highlight the URL and open another tab and go to Easybib or Knightcite.
6. Make sure you click on "website" and MLA format.
7. Paste URL.
8. Hit "create citation."
9. Add in any additional information that Easybib asks for if possible. (in knightcite you will have already done that). Then hit create again and cut and paste citation onto a word doc titled "WORKS CITED."
10. Be sure each reference has a "hanging indentation" (when cut and pasting, sometimes the indentation disappears).
Guided / Independent
Your turn. Get your chrome book and give it a try. Choose a topic and find three good sources of information. On google docs, create a "WORKS CITED" page with the three citations that you created by using Knight cite or Easybib. Be sure they are in alphabetical order and have hanging indentations.
THEN:
For those of you working on resumes, think of any work experience you have had, volunteer experience, shop experience, any extracurricular activities in which you are involved, sports, clubs, etc. Write them all down on a google docs page under separate heading. Share with me.
Choose a topic to research.
