Ms. Neville's Class Resources

I have so much information to pass on to you this afternoon that you get your very own post. 🙂

First, a few of you requested a recap of yesterday’s notes on what you need to do for tomorrow/Thursday. Click HERE to download a copy.

Next, several of you found sources via databases that are NOT from periodicals. This is fine, as long as you put them in your bibliography correctly. Below you will find lists of information needed to account for an online encyclopedia article, a book, and information from a wire service (assuming they were each found via databases). I’m doing this based on the best information I have about the sources you’re using — there may be slight modifications needed if your sources don’t fit the descriptions perfectly. No worries, it’s a learning experience. We’ll do any necessary “tweaking” tomorrow.
