3. Announcements
1)Making 3 will be due on November 5th
2)If you did not receive a specific prompt
for making 3, you are to make
something(anything, really) then write
about the process (what you did, what
you needed in order to make it, where
you learned how, etc.)
3)Meanwhile Project 3 is due on October
29th, which is this coming Friday.
4. Announcements
4) Project 2 is due November 12th.
Don’t put it off, or the audio and editing will
overwhelm you. I gave you all this time for
a reason.
5) I will be grading your mix CDs ASAP. I
have to somehow get the ones that are at
my office to my apartment to do the
grading.
5. Activity: Citations
The last element we need to learn for
Project 3 is how to cite our sources.
You will divide into groups based on what
the citation format for your major is. For
most of you, it will be APA format (anyone
in a social science, in business, in
management, in medicine, in computer
related fields, will use APA). For some of
you, it will be MLA. And for a few proud
souls, it’ll be CSE/CBE (which is science)
6. Find 2 people
…who have the same citation format you’ll
be using. Congrats, you’re a group.
Pick a recorder. Again, if someone hasn’t
been a recorder yet, that person should do
it.
Complete the tasks on the next slide(s)
7. Write references…
For the next five slides, I will be offering you
“sources.” I want you to create the
reference list citation for each of them.
Don’t worry, there’s a set of examples and
explanations at the end.
8. Reference 1: book
This is a single authored book. The info,
from the library database:
Author: Newman, Michael
Title: The designs of academic literacy : a
multiliteracies examination of academic
achievement
Publisher: Westport, Conn. : Bergin &
Garvey, 2002.
9. Reference 2: essay
This is an essay from a collection
Author: Baron, Dennis
Title: From Pencils to Pixels (pages 15-33)
in book: Passions, Pedagogies, and 21st.
Century Technologies
Editors: Gail Hawisher and Cindy Selfe
Publisher: Urbana, IL: National Council of
Teachers of English, 2000.
11. Reference 4: journal
This is a journal article.

f
You read this for class. Now we cite it.
12. Reference 5: a website
This is a website. It’s a blog, actually.

tattoo.html
*note, I pulled this up at random– I have no
opinion of the content other than that the
guy is local. I just want to see you cite it*
13. So how do we do this?
Helpful links:
MLA APA CSE
14. The reason
We cite references is to give credit to the
authors for their ideas. To not do so is to
steal ideas, which is just as illegal as
stealing physical property.
Citation formats are relatively easy, they’re
just SPECIFIC. Don’t expect yourself to
memorize them. You will likely need to
consult a guide each time you cite.
15. Think of it like …
An equation.
I know, I know, some of us hate math.
But let’s look at the most basic APA citation,
the book with a single author.
16. Last, F. (date). Title only cap first. City of
publication: Publisher.
It has a hanging indent. This is true of MLA and
APA both. You only capitalize the first word of
titles, of subtitles, or proper nouns in APA (not
so in MLA). The title of a book or journal is in
italics.
18. Here’s our equation again:
Last, F. (date). Title only cap first. City of
publication: Publisher.
The author’s name is Ian Bogost. Plug it in:
Bogost, I. (date). Title only cap first. City of
publication: Publisher.
See how this works?
19. Bogost, I. (date). Title only cap first. City of
publication: Publisher.
The date of publication is listed as 2010
Bogost, I. (2010). Title only cap first. City of
publication: Publisher.
The title is Persuasive Games: The Expressive
Power of Video Games.
Bogost, I. (2010). Persuasive games: The
expressive power of video games. City of
publication: Publisher.
20. Bogost, I. (2010). Persuasive games: The
expressive power of video games. City of
publication: Publisher.
The publisher is MIT Press, and MIT is in Cambridge,
MA, so…
Bogost, I. (2010). Persuasive games: The
expressive power of video games.
Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
That is our finished citation, ready for the reference
page.
21. All you have to do…
Is find the type of citation you’re using in
the guide, then take your source and plug
in all the information where it goes.
If a piece is missing, you skip it.
This is the same for all citation formats.
So take those five examples and make
reference listings for them! Rock it!
22. When you all agree…
That your five are correct, email them to
me. I will check them and send you back
any corrections that might need to be made
so that you have models of each of the
most common types of citation on hand
while you work.
23. Questions…
After working with this, I am sure you will
have questions. Please submit them via the
@ http://phill150.tumblr.com . I will respond
to those questions on my Tumblr tonight.
That’s it for class time. See you in
Hybridville!
