AFRICA POSTER
Before you can begin designing your poster for your assigned African country, you will need to do some research. Use and cite the sources discussed in class. 

Print Books:
  • For this project, you may have used a print book: one that you physically sat at a table and read.
  • Your citation for this source needs to be added into EasyBib to give credit for the information you are using from that source.
Citing Print Books in EasyBib:
  1. Find your book's ISBN (either 10 or 13 digit, no dashes. DO NOT include the number 10 or 13 or the letters ISBN)
  2. Make sure you are logged into EasyBib
  3. Create (if you haven't) or open the project you wish to add the citation to.
  4. Click on the Book tab 
  5. Enter your book's ISBN and click Cite It
  6. Make sure to fix any mistakes 
  7. Click Create Citation
Note: for non-reference books (what you are using), you will leave the Advanced Info part blank in EasyBib.

Websites:
Citing a Website
  1. Go to EasyBib and LOG IN 
  2. If you haven't already done so, create a new project by clicking the orange "new project button" and name your project something practical.
  3. Copy your website's URL (all of it)
  4. While in the Website tab in EasyBib, paste in your website's URL and click Cite it
  5. Click Cite This and then Continue 
  6. Fix anything that needs to be added/removed/fixed
  7. Click Create Citation when done
When your citations are done, you are ready to export to Google Docs! This will create an MLA works cited page.
You MUST follow these steps. Copying and pasting from EasyBib to document does NOT create an MLA works cited page. It'll be formatted incorrectly and your grade will reflect that.
  1. Make sure you are logged into EasyBib using the Chrome web browser 
  2. Make sure you cited all sources you referenced
  3. Click the orange Export  button. 
  4. Choose "Save to Google Docs" 
  5. Click the link to open the file in your Google Drive 
  6. Don't add or change anything! It is perfect the way it is. 
  7. This will be attached to the back of your poster to give credit for the sources you used in your research OR turned in through Google Classroom. Make sure you know where your teacher wants your document.
