This document provides instructions for an assignment that is due on April 5th. Students are asked to gather between 7-10 total sources on their topic, including a minimum of 3 multimedia sources. The document then provides explanations of what a bibliography is, why citations and bibliographies are important for credibility, acknowledging intellectual property, and enabling further research. It provides examples of correct MLA citation formats and a sample bibliography page for the student to follow.

Week 12
TO DO THIS WEEK-
GATHER SOURCES- As per the assignment sheet, you will have a minimum of seven
or a maximum of ten total sources for this assignment. Three of these sources need
to be multimedia. (This includes graphs, graphics, pictures, charts, etc.) When these
sources are gathered, list them alphabetically, following MLA-8 works cited
guidelines.
DUE- Sunday, April 5th, at 11:59
WHAT IS A BIBLIOGRAPHY?
A bibliography is a list of the books referred to in a scholarly work, typically printed as an
appendix.
Academic papers and other forms of essays use a bibliography, or works cited page, for the
reader to have access to the sources the author used.
Why would this be important? For author credibility, correct intellectual property
deference and value, and a direction for further research if a reader so wishes.
~Credibility
An author in any setting is held as more credible if they use other credible sources
to base their arguments or ideas on. Say for instance you read this article on
Buzzfeed about Coronavirus mutating at a fast rate and infecting rats. I would find
this concerning, and I would check the articles sources. If there were none, I would
completely disregard the article. If the sources were sketchy at best, I would look to
see who else is writing about this subject. If the sources were highly credible like the
CDC and WHO, I would start to believe them.
~Intellectual Property
Say someone writes this dissertation about how the physical world is actually a
form of the real thing. And, they say it’s like we’re in a cave and we can only see the
shadows of reality, like flames reflected in the dark. For you savvy readers you
recognize these thoughts as a sad display of Platonic reasoning. But the author’s not
cited Plato at all in the essay. This isn’t ok! You think. How dare this author claim
these thoughts are their own when this classic philosophy, and how dare they posit

other ideas based on this reasoning so as it looks like their own philosophy! In text
citation is used not only with quotations, but with intellectual ideas as well as to not
make it look like you’re the one who came up with these concepts.
~Further Research
So then let’s say this dissertation gets edited and corrected and you find that this
author uses Platonic philosophy to create an argument which supports
extermination as the method for dealing with unwanted citizens like the differently-
abled, prisoners, and orphans. You think to yourself; this needs more research. Or,
perhaps, you think how the hell did they reach that conclusion? So, you check their
source list. You can tell by looking up their selection of philosophers and writers
that this author relies on known un-credible sources. “Looking up” can mean just
googling the author and the book, or actually reading the book.
Helpful Tip- Use the keywords list and the topic sentence you created during Library week
to help you find your sources. Because you need multimedia sources, remember to look at
video sources, podcasts, blogs, interviews, videogames, Instagram vids, tiktoks etc.
WHAT ARE CITATIONS?
Citations are the individual source information, listed in a specific way. Citations generally
have author name, title of piece, publisher information and date published.
In Part 4, Chapter 12b-2 of Becoming Rhetorical, you can find helpful information about
checking citations or creating your own citations.
Below (on the next page) is a correct MLA-8 works cited page, with correct citations. Notice
that the first line of each citation is not indented, but the remaining lines are. Some
citations, like book citations, are much shorter than online publications.
