After learning about the SIFT approach to evaluating sources, apply the Lateral Reading strategy (SIFT) to the website you found during the collaborative opening activity.
Is the source reliable?
What makes you believe so?
Is there another source you might want to select instead? Why?

Citing a Website:
To create the MLA citation for each website used, first open a google doc.
Title the page "Works Cited."

Click “Tools” → select “citations” → select your citation style → begin creating your citations.
Questions? We can help!
Citing an Image: If you use images from the articles or websites you've already cited, you do not need an additional citation. However, if you find an image that isn't attached to an article / website in your works cited, you must create that citation.
To create the MLA citation for an image found outside of an article, open THIS document and follow the directions.
Add the citations for each image used within your presentation.
Please note: You have the rights to use images in an educational presentation, within school; outside of the school setting, you must have the rights to an image before using it.
