Examples of Listing Sources of Information

PLEASE WRITE THIS INFORMATION IN YOU EXERCISE BOOKS. YOU WILL BE GRADED ON THE NOTES YOU HAVE IN YOUR BOOKS FORM THIS SITE.

Today we discussed correct listing of sources.

Below is an an example of correct listing of sources.


Dear MoveOn member,
President-elect Obama is launching his presidency with a bold new plan to change our economy. He wants to create 3 million new jobs and invest in green jobs, health care, and clean energy.1


But conservatives in Congress are stuck in the failed economic ideology that got us into this mess. And they're trying to gut Obama's plan.2

Sources:
1. "Obama Considers Major Expansion in Aid to Jobless," New York Times, January 3, 2009

2. "Boehner: Stimulus may be too costly," Chicago Tribune, December 29, 2008

NOTICE THAT I LISTED THE SOURCE WHERE I GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM.


The numbers after the information lets you know that the author is using information that he or she did not create-instead they are using information provided by someone else. They are giving them credit for their information while at the same time directing the reader to the source of the information so that they can get the full details of the story, if they are interested.


THIS IS A VERY BUSY TERM AND THERFORE WE WILL DO QUITE A BIT OF WORK VIA THIS WEB PAGE. PLEASE CHECK IT OFTEN AS I WILL CONTINUE TO PUT INFORMATION HERE FOR YOU.


Ms. Cooper.
