Useful Links for Seniors

Bibliographies for your papers:

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/

http://citationmachine.net/index2.php?reqstyleid=1&newstyle=1

**Be sure that you're citing everything that is not your original thought. Including images! I need to know where everything is coming from. Be sure that within your paper you are using parenthetical citations to show me any ideas, quotes, or paraphrases that are not your ideas. Don't plagiarize, even by accident!

For Vocabulary Cards:

http://dictionary.reference.com/

Using this page, you will insert the word in the search box at the top. For the word's entry find the information under Origin. This is the information that will provide you the etymology of the word. Be sure to look for the root of the word and its meaning.

http://www.merriam-webster.com

This is another good source for you. You may need to click on "show full entry" to get to all of the information. Again, look for the Origin information.
