24 Activity: Creating Citations

As you’ve learned, creating a citation requires a few steps:

  1. Identify the type of source,
  2. Identify the W’s of the work (Who, When, What, Where),
  3. Write the footnotes (or endnotes) and bibliographic citation using the W’s and guidance from an example from the Chicago Style QuickGuide. Pay attention to correct formatting (punctuation, spacing, capitalization, italics).
  4. Proofread your work.
