Bibliography

toc =Citation= In middle school your teachers mostly ask for a generic citation style (or bibliography), but when you get to high school and college, teachers will require you to use a specific format. There are a few different citation formats. Follow these links to learn more about the different styles [|APA], [|Chicago], [|MLA].

To cite your sources you need to know certain information about them. The order the information is presented in and so is the punctuation, so be careful when creating your bibliography.
 * At WMS, we mostly use the MLA style.**

Fill in this form and print it out for your assignments. *under construction*
