 * The Works Cited page in NoodleTools**

1. The first thing you must do before you can take notes is add your sources to your bibliography. Either through the Dashboard or by clicking on "Bibliography" at the top of the page, go to your Works Cited Page.

2. Select the type of source you are using from the drop-down menu and click "Create Citation."

3. Follow the steps. Fill in as much information as you can.
 * Teachers: it may be helpful to go through a simple citation as a group. Help your students with determining where to find information, how to write it, etc.

4. The last step of the citation is writing an annotation, which is a description of the resource. This is //not// where you take notes on the resource, but where you write a brief synopsis of the resource to help you identify it later. For example, you might write "article on the food that people ate in Ancient Egypt." This information will show up on your Works Cited page, so if you do not want this to appear there, do not enter any information in this box. Ask your teacher to be sure.

5. IMPORTANT: Click "check for errors." This will make sure that you didn't make any mistakes with capitalization, spelling, etc.Then click "Update Citation."

6. You will now be back on your Works Cited page.Keep adding sources by clicking Create Citation.

Some other things you can do in this section:


 * Print or export your Works Cited page. This will put your WC page in the right format and alphabetize it.
 * Analyze your sources to make sure you have enough and that you have the right balance (of print, electronic, etc.)
 * Label each source as either primary, secondary, or tertiary. You may not have to do this if your teacher does not require a certain number of primary or secondary sources.
