Period 4 – CHW3M – History of the World to the 16th Century
Ms. Magson’s class will be coming to the Library to work on an Ancient Wonders assignment.
We also suggest you use the following resources :
The Library Catalogue allows you remote access to our print, digital and streaming resources from anywhere at any time. To access this resource, you’ll simply need your TDSB log-in information.
Instead of just going to Google, you could also consult the following websites and databases as well:
Fordham University has created an Internet Sourcebook that provides primary source documents different civilizations and eras across History.
The Perseus Project: From TUFTS University, this collection of cultural, historic and literary sources from the Greco-Roman world provides you with excellent material.
We’re back for more MLA Citation fun! Now that you have the Works Cited page under control, let’s talk about in-text citing. In English classes you may have cited novels or short stories or poems parenthetically using MLA, which would involve the author and page number from the text.
For Ms. Belevski’s class your sources will be online so that changes things a little bit.
To embed quotes, there are a few simple guidelines to remember:
It is crucial to properly reference information that is not your own in order to give credit where it’s due and also to avoid PLAGIARISM. Providing your teacher with a URL for a website used unfortunately will not cut it anymore
Using the following information will put you on the right track to creating a bibliography to be proud of! (Remember to keep track of where you found your information so that formatting your bibliography will be a breeze!)
Below you’ll find the Laurier Guide for Chicago Citation.
Remember to look to OWL @ Purdue for other questions that arise about citation. It’s where Ms. Kelso or Ms. Vilicic go when we’re looking for information about citation.
Afternoon Session – Liang – SNC2D
Mr. Liang’s Grade 10 Science class will be coming down to learn about Fake News.
Today, we would like to respectfully observe Remembrance Day, where those who lost their lives in, to and for conflict are remembered by those who lived and endure.
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est [Latin for “It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country“.]
Pro patria mori. (Owen, Wilfred, Dulce et Decorum Est)
Booked Classes
Mr. Furguile’s ENG2D class will be coming into the Library today to talk about Memoirs.
Memoirs are amazing works of writing that look at one’s own life. For this assignment, students will need to find a memoir to read and explore.
Ms. Karasan will be working with you today to show you a great list of memoirs and help you find one you’re interested in.
This form of citation helps students show the source of their research and is quite simple to accomplish. We’ll talk about how we write a References list together in class.
Today, you’ll be learning about how to use STATS Canada. There’s a few other sources that will be of use too…
We’ll be talking about the different ways you can use the search options and what happens when a research source is not designed with young people in mind. It’s designed for professional researchers, who know what they’re doing. You (mostly) know what you’re doing, so we’ll work on the tips & tricks to get you there today.
You’re coming in to the Library to work on your research project.

Your slide presentation needs a visual which in turn needs to be cited in APA. In this situation you need to reference the source of the visual and unfortunately stating Google Images as the source will not suffice.
Simply put, you may NOT cite Google. It is a search engine, not a source. You have to dig deeper to cite images that are found through Google.
Where to Look?
Having said that, there are lots of places, including Google, to look for images or illustrations for this assignment that are covered by Creative Common licenses which means that you can share and edit the material as long as you give appropriate credit sometimes also called “attribution.” There are sources for images that are “public use” according to Creative Commons licensing such as:
Visit the Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue to see what they have to say about formatting your image.
Here is the format:
Creator’s last name, Creator’s first name initial. (Year of publication). Title of image [type of image]. Source. URL (hyperlink removed) (you may add the Creative Commons licence here if there is one. e.g. CC BY-NC.)
What happens if: 1) the image has no creator: go to the title 2) the image doesn’t have a title: describe the image and put that description in square brackets in italics 3) if the image has no date: put [n.d.] after the creator (if there is one) and title/description
Here is a brief video from Humber College that is helpful if you want to use an image but have little information.
Placement?
Images are treated as figures in APA Style. Therefore, the citation for the source of the image is included as a footnote in the figure caption underneath the image which includes the figure number and a description. The source of the image obtained is attributed using the following model:
Figure 1. Blah blah blah. From Title of Image, by Author, Year. Retrieved from URL.

If you already have a Toronto Public Library library card, then you already know that you can borrow books through curbside pickup at your closest branch or borrow ebooks to read online using their Overdrive platform or Libby app.
If you don’t have a library card for the Public Library, it’s easy to get one online if you live in Toronto by registering for a Digital Access Card.
