Knowledge and Skills Statement

Inquiry and research: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student engages in both short-term and sustained recursive inquiry processes for a variety of purposes.

Provide students with a works cited template. Students use the template to create their own list of citations specific to their research project.

Further Explanation

This assessment example requires students to apply the specifics of how to cite a variety of resources such as books, websites, and newspaper articles by completing a works cited page.

Citing, or giving credit, to sources used to gather information is essential to any research project or essay. A works-cited page is a list of the sources (e.g., books, websites, newspaper articles) used to gather information about a topic. A works-cited page might include the title and author of a particular book. When citing a website, students might include the title of the website and the link or web address. This list of sources tells the audience where students found the information included in their work.
