# 1 Citing Web Sources  

 
I would use this site, because it does an excellent job of describing how to cite Internet resources. The site begins with listing the components of Web resources.  A detailed description is given of each component, and within the description it tells where to find it. The next portion gives actual examples of how the sources should be cited. The examples are given in the two main styles MLA and APA, in addition to the Chicago style. A strong point of this site is that it’s written very clearly. The teacher will of course go over the process with students; this site can be use during the instruction.

#2 Classroom Connect

I would use Classroom Connect in conjunction with Citing Web Sources.  Classroom Connect gives a basic explanation of citing an Internet resource; it refers to its format as World Wide Web. The strong point of this site is that gives formats for citing: online sounds, online images, and online video clips. Students like to include graphics in their research, so this would be very helpful. There are also links to citing MLA and APA styles.
