Your sources will be listed in a Reference section on your poster and also cited (mentioned) in the text.
For LANC 2058 we will use the APA style for referencing and citing.
Images will have a brief figure number, caption and description
References are shown in an alphabetical ordered list at the end of your writing. It only contains the sources you used for the information in your poster. They contain several important pieces of information about the source.
example:
Grady, J. S., Her, M., Moreno, G., Perez, C., & Yelinek, J. (2019). Emotions in storybooks: A comparison of storybooks that represent ethnic and racial groups in the United States. Psychology of Popular Media Culture, 8(3), 207–217. https://doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000185
Citations are short form for the references in your list and are used in the text sentences directly after using the information from a source.
examples:
Parenthetical citation: "Children learn about people from the books they read (Grady et al., 2019)."
Narrative citation: " As Grady et al. (2019) say, children learn about people from the books they read."

If you have taken images or graphs from the internet you need to make sure they are Clip Art, Stock or Creative Commons images which can be used. Search using Google Advanced Search ( https://www.google.com/advanced_image_search ) and under 'usage rights' choose 'free to use'. Look at the summary information under the image to see title, date, author and source. Put this in a note under the image on your poster.
You will need to number (figures) the images and have a short caption (title) and legend (description of the source). See the example below. Note, if your http link is very long and will up too much space, make it a link.
