Then, complete a citation for a website. A citation lets others know where you got your information. Students need to give credit for the resources they have used, even in elementary school.
Next, Select a book from the “State Book Display” and create a citation for a book. Again, a citation allows others to know where you got your information. You should always give credit to the author.
Finally, hand in your citations, one for a book and one for a website. If your citations are correct, you will receive a taggie in celebration of learning how to create a “Work Cited.”
