Welcome, new Citation Detective recruits! A devious mastermind, Moriarty, is causing havoc in the academic world by changing Chicago Style Citations into inaccurate abominations.
Your job is to find where Moriarty is hiding by answering each clue's questions correctly and submitting them before Moriarty changes the Chicago Style Citations forever! The first team to submit all the correct clues will be promoted to Ms. Hickey's Citation Detective unit, effective immediately.
Here are the facts.
The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) is comprised of two styles: Author / Date and Notes / Bibliography. Our case focuses on Notes & Bibliography.
For the purpose of our case, when I reference "Chicago Style" in the case files I am referring to the Notes & Bibliography style. The Chicago Style Notes-Bibliography System is used by academics in the fields of literature, history, and the arts. You also use this style in your History classes.
In Chicago Style, footnotes are used but are formatted differently from the bibliography. The footnotes are presented at the bottom of the corresponding page in the order in which they appear in the text, while the full list of sources are alphabetical in the bibliography.
When you add a footnote to your document, the superscript number must be place directly after what you are referencing with the footnote note coming at the bottom of the page.
Adding a footnote to your Google Doc is easy. Simply click where you want the footnote, then go to Insert > Page elements > Footnote. It will automatically add a superscripted number and provide room at the bottom of the page for your footnote!
Here are the four Moriarty case files for you to look through and answer questions. You may complete them out of order, but all four need to be completed in order to find Moriarty's location. If you get stuck, ask a head detective (the librarian or your teacher) for help!
Come back to the Citation Agency once you have completed each of the four case files. You should have four locations written down to submit to the Head Detective!
