Lesson+2

This week we will begin our unit on Noodle Tools, which is a research suite that includes citation help, virtual note cards, creating an outline, and a link to share student papers through Google Docs. Noodle Tools will also format the Works Cited correctly, making turning it in simpler for the girls.

We'll start by learning how to add a list and create citations.

First, you may be wondering why **you** need to know about bibliographies. The simple answer is that you need to know how to do them so that you can teach the girls (but you may also find it helpful if you take a class that requires you to cite your sources).

The girls need to know how to cite information for a few reasons: 1. To acknowledge and give credit to the sources that they used. 2. To know how to properly cite information once they get to college. 3. To respect the creators of the work that they are borrowing. 4. And it makes it much easier to check their sources than if they just turn in a list.

Check out this short video as a refresher on citing books - then watch the screencast to walk you through citing the book using Noodle Tools.

Cite a book in Noodle Tools, and then share the citation with me. If possible, try to cite a non-fiction book, since we will be building on the citation that you create in later activities.
