Aujourd’hui on va faire de la
recherche sur nos régions en France.

2. Citing Your Research
• You need a total of three cited sources
• One of your sources may not be from the
internet
• Sources must be cited in MLA format on a
separate “Work Cited” slide in your
PowerPoint presentation
• www.noodletools.com
• www.easybib.com

3. Taking a Screenshot
• The screenshot process is different for each type of
computer or operating system
• Many PCs have a button on the top of the keyboard
called “Print Screen” or “PRTSC”, pressing this key
once takes a screenshot or picture of your entire
desktop.
• The image from the screenshot is saved to your
“clipboard” and you may paste this image to a Word
Document by right-clicking or pressing “Ctrl + V” in a
blank document.
• Once your image is pasted in Word, you can select
your image, and click on “Format” to crop, enlarge,
or decrease the size, height, or width of your image.
