Please Note:
  1. Article title: use the name of the speech. 
  2. Author: use the speaker who gave the speech.
  3. Date of Electronically Published: use a current date for the website, if given, NOT the date of the speech.
  • Remember, if a website's copyright date notes "present," that means now, as in 2020.
  • Some websites list a copyright and a last updated date. Use the last updated date since this is more specific.
Exporting Your Citations From Noodletools
  1. Ensure you have cited ALL sources you plan on citing and that they are cited properly.
  2. Choose Print/Export and then Print/Export to Google Docs
  3. Your works cited document should open automatically. DO NOT adjust anything. The formatting is correct.​​
  • Note: if your works cited document does not open automatically, check your URL bar. If you see a little red "x" on the right side of your URL bar, click it, tell it to always allow pop-ups, click done. Then, follow step 2 above again.

Get your works cited to your teacher as you were instructed in class. This may mean copying the info on your exported document and pasting it to the end of an essay or a particular slide in a presentation, adding it as an attachment to an assignment in Classroom, printing it, etc.
