As part of their research project on Ancient Civilizations, Mr. Bloom and Mrs. Brown’s fifth graders visited the library for a lesson in citing sources. First Mrs. Miliano discussed the importance of acknowledging one’s sources to avoid plagiarism. Next she introduced the five parts of a book citation (author, title, place of publication, publisher, and copyright date) and where to find them in a book. As a group, the students wrote a citation for a book about Ancient Egypt. Then they practiced writing another citation for a second book on their own.
