January 12 & 16 - APA Style and EasyBib

Today, we will be learning about APA Style and setting up your APA Style Easy Bib accounts.

Agenda

Part One: APA Style and In-Text Citations

Go to nearpod.com. Enter the code: QPTNI
Complete the APA Style practice activity using the article provided. Look at the assignment sample and corresponding article for an example of what is expected.

Part Two: EasyBib

Before you can start creating APA style citations, you will need to upgrade your EasyBib account. Please follow the directions provided by Mrs. Briner for logging into EasyBib, applying the upgrade and creating a folder for this PBL. Once you have completed Step Six, please make sure Mrs. Briner or your teacher sees your project folder.

Once you have applied the EasyBib EDU upgrade and created a project for this PBL, please review the directions for logging into EasyBib through Google Drive. This document also covers exporting your citations into Google Drive to create a Reference list.

*For this PBL, you are expected to use EasyBib to log your resources and to create (1) an individual APA style annotated bibliography and (2) a group reference list to go with the group research paper.
