Set up our Works Cited page. See the video below 

Each source needs
  • Proper MLA citation
  • Objective Summary 
  • Statement of Credibility 

EXAMPLE:
  • Almagor, Lelac. "The Good In Standardized Testing." Boston Review 39.5 (2014): 6-9. Literary Reference Center Plus. Web. 29 Mar. 2016.
  • WHAT THE SOURCE SAYS: Almagor says that standardized tests indicate when students are behind academically and can and should be used as a tool of intervention, not only of merit. He also comments on the Common Core State Standards for education.
  • WHY IT’S CREDIBLE: This article is from the Boston Review, an award winning magazine of political and cultural articles.
