• Find two articles on the Internet (one from a newspaper and one from a magazine).
• Summarize each article in a  brief paragraph. Included in that paragraph should be a quote from the article.
• Finally draw a line under the paragraph and type "Works Cited." Then document the Works Cited section properly. (See sample works cited pages in Hacker page 359 & Connections page 616.)

• Click on Start in the bottom-left of your screen

• Click on Programs

• Click on Office 97

• Click on Microsoft Word

A blank document will appear. Type your name and your partner’s name.

1.   In-text citations should include the author and page number if these are known :

Turback claims that "regulated sport hunting has never driven any wild species into extinction" (4).

Studies indicate "regulated sport hunting has never driven any wild species into extinction" (Turback 4).

2.     If your electronic source contains no page numbers, then just mention  the author’s name:

Volti writes, "As with all significant innovations, the history of the automobile shows that technological advance is fueled by more than economic calculation."

3.  If the electronic source has no known author, either use the complete title in a signal phrase or use a short form of the title in parentheses:

According to "Children are Dying," A Web page sponsored by the Children's Defense Fund, fourteen American children die from gunfire each day.

According to a Web page sponsored by the Children’s Defense Fund, fourteen American children die from gunfire each day ("Child").

4.  If your article quotes an individual, you must make this clear.  For example  if  Smith  is the author of the article you are reading and he quotes animal activist John Doe, the easiest way to handle this is to include all pertinent information outside the quotations.  (If page number is known, include that in parentheses after the close quotation sign.)

Smith  concludes with the words of animal activist, John Doe: "Animals are not purses and hamburgers.  Animals are  feeling, sensitive, living beings like ourselves."

Note: The basic format is author, title of article, title of periodical underlined, date of periodical, date you accessed it on the Web, and the Web address in angle brackets followed by a period
