Used to introduce Y11 HPQ students to why and when to reference

1. Representing what you have learned from earlier
authors (Pears, 2008)

2. What is a bibliography?
 List of all the sources you have used in the preparation
of your work
 Usually placed at the end of a document or on a
separate sheet

3. Research
 An exploration and learning process
 By citing your sources you show the path you took to
come to your conclusions
 Shows how you brought others’ research and ideas
together and how you came to learn about and develop
your own ideas and opinions.

4. Why?
 Gives credit to the authors who originally researched
the information
 Prevents plagiarism - not pretending that someone
else’s work is your own
 Shows you are aware of and have used a wide variety of
information sources
 Shows the extent of your research and lets the
teacher/examiner see that you have done sufficient
 Allows the writing to flow!

5. When do you cite?
 Direct quotes in your work to clarify, illustrate, or
make a point
 Use after you paraphrase or summarise i.e. “translate”
someone else’s ideas into your own words.
 Not just books or articles should be cited. Any source
that you use for information should be cited including
websites, TV programs, plays, art exhibitions etc. etc.
