Hi Sixth Graders,

Here is a little more help citing your sources. Everyone should have their Life Science Book as a reference book. Here is what it should look like. Feel free to copy and paste or type on your own.
Bernstein, Leonard. Life Science. Shoreview, MN: Pearson, 2009. Print.

The WildLife Fact File is also a source that was used by many (the little pamphlet like cards from the 3-ring binder book.

Hi Sixth Graders,

Here are some links to help you with your sources cited/bibliography page.

With this first site. All is correct except that instead of underlining things, they should be in italics. Also, go ahead and put "print or web" after each entry depending on how you got your information.

Purdue University has a great site for electronic sources and shows how the sources cited page should look.

The Purdue site is great. I can help more tomorrow!
