Go to Citation Machine
1.
The first thing you do is look to
the left hand side of the screen. Click the citation style you wish to use
in your document (Teacher Ed uses APA).
2.
Then,
again on the left hand side of the screen, click the type of resource you are
citing (book, journal, government document). There are two sections there – one
for paper documents (print) and one for web-based. Most of the sources you are
going to find on a Google or Bing search are considered web-based sources. Then
you have to decide, “Is my source a journal article or a magazine article?” Don’t
worry too much about getting this right. I’m more interested in the process at
this point.
3.
After
you’ve selected the type, complete the web form that appears with information
from your source. If you don’t know what to put into one of the boxes, leave it
blank.
4.
When
you’ve entered the information, click [Make Citations] to generate
standard bibliographic and in-text citations.
5.
You’ll
notice the box that appears is highlighted. This is so you can copy and paste
easily. Copy the citation that is highlighted and paste it into your Word
document.
6.
After
you’ve copied and pasted the citation of your source into your Word document,
compose the paragraph describing the information (referred to as the
annotation) you found at this site.
