5th Grade Environmental Impact Project: Citing Sources

Citing Sources - 5th Grade

It is important to give credit to others when we use their ideas, words, and information as a part of our research. When we cite our sources, we say where and who we got our information from.

When we don't cite our sources, we are plagiarizing, or stealing, someone else's ideas, words, and information.

 

To cite our sources in this project, you should write the title and author of where you got your information from and give the link to the source. This is so it is easy to go back and find where you got your information from. Collecting all of our sources and putting them in one place is called a bibliography.

 

Here is an example:
