How to Cite Sources:

If you use an exact quote, you must use quotation marks around it.
If you paraphrase information (put in your own words), you don’t need quotation marks.
In either case, you must include an in-text citation, endnote or footnote indicating the source.
In either case, you must include the source in Works Cited (MLA) or References (APA).

Please refer to the Research Guide available at http://bit.ly/T6kqjK for citation help or
go to http://tiferes.pbworks.com under Student Resources > Citing Sources.
Please include the full web-site address of on-line resources so that your teacher can find it.
That means that you don’t write www.tiferes.ca (unless it is on the home page) but www.tiferes.ca/gallery/art11.htm.
If you are not certain whether you need to cite a source (for example, common knowledge), please consult your teacher.
