Citation Centre - thanks to Berkeley High


Week 3. We went to visit Berkeley High library and there I found the citation centre. It is a clever way to encourage students to write up accurate bibliographies. My version of it is here. On the left are cards. One for books, one for periodicals, one for the Internet and one for encyclopedias. Students fill in a card for each item they use in their research. They may well end up with 8 - 15 cards, depending on how many resources they consult. Then they use the bibliography guide on the right to put the cards into the correct order. Once that is done they can write up a very accurate bibliography for their research. Senior students are using this already.
