Current Event Mini Essay: Citing your Sources

Why Cite?

Plagiarism is a serious offense, and in the real-world it comes with serious consequences.  You should ALWAYS cite your sources- whether it is a quote, paraphrase, or indirect quote. 

The resources below will assist you with citing your sources properly. BUT they are not a replacement for your brain! Make sure to check your citations and ensure that they are written correctly and include all of the necessary information for your teacher. Your citation is a coordinate, and should lead your teacher easily and quickly to the source that you used.
