In your ppt presentation, you must reference any information, graphs, pictures, etc. that you get from other sources.

In your ppt presentation, you must reference any information, graphs, pictures, etc. that you get

from other sources.

That means that you have to tell me where you get information

from

This does NOT mean that you can copy and paste whole pages of

information and try to tell me that you ‘did research’.

It DOES mean that you can use your own words and sometimes reference facts and figures from other sources to justify what you

say.

In your ppt, if you use a picture, you will name is picture 1 or

picture 2 etc.

Example:

In Ottawa, many people like to ice skate.

Picture 1

If you use a graph, you can call it graph 1

Example

According to graph 1, the stock market has experienced a huge decline.

Graph 1

If you use more than 1 graph or picture, then after you use 1 graph,

your next graph will be called:

Graph 2

At the end of your ppt, you will have a reference page where you

will write all the information about the book or web page where you found it your pictures and graphs

You have to follow a format. It is this:

Picture 1: Author. Date (date published). Title of web page. Retrieved (Date), from (Title of Web Site): URL.

It may look like this:

Picture 1: Meyers, A. S. 1990. Memories of a time gone by. Retrieved February 6, 1996, from old times: http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html

*Please look at where the periods and spaces are. Yours should be the same.

If there is no author mentioned, you can write: n.a.

Example:

Picture 1: (n.a.) 1990. Memories of a time gone by. Retrieved February 6, 1996, from old times: http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html

If there is no date mentioned, you can write: (n.d.)

Example:

Picture 4: Meyers, A. S. (n.d.). Memories of a time gone by. Retrieved February 6, 1996, from old times: http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html

You also have to show me where you get your information from.

That means that when you use facts or ideas inside your ppt that you got from another source, you have to put it in your bibliography.

To do this, you also use the number system: 1, 2, 3, 4

But this time, you put the number beside the information or ideas that you use in your writing.

Example

In 1700, a huge earthquake struck the coast of California.1

In India, people could feel the effects of the 2004 quake for miles around.2

That little number is called a ‘superscript’.

To get it, you can ‘highlight’ your text.

Then right click your mouse. Then choose ‘font’.

Then choose ‘superscript’

Then in your bibliography, you will give the details of the actual

web page that you found the information from

Example:

1:Tyrrell, C. J. 2007. Why Earthquakes are cool. Retrieved October 21, 2008, from mrtyrrell: http://mrtyrrell.com/earthquakesarecool.html

When you make your bibliography, all of your sources should be listed in the same order

as they appear in your ppt.

As well as by the type.

That means that you will first list all your sources of ‘ideas and words’

1: Jones, C. J. 2007. Why I am nice. Retrieved October 21, 2008, from nicepeople: http://nicepeople.com/earthquakesarecool.html

2: Tyrrell, C. J. 2007. Why Earthquakes are cool. Retrieved October 21, 2008, from mrtyrrell: http://mrtyrrell.com/earthquakesarecool.html

Then you will have your list of graphs

graph 1: (n.a.) 1990. Memories of a time gone by. Retrieved February 6, 1996, from old times: http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html

graph 2: Briggs, Sally 1995. Times are Good. Retrieved February 7, 1999, from old times: http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html

Lastly, you will have your list of pictures

Picture 1: Briggs, Sally 1995. Times are Good. Retrieved February 7, 1999, from old times: http://www.oldtimes.com/~meyers/memories.html
