Period 1 – Ms. Papoutsis’ CGC1D (Grade 9 Geography)

Greetings geographers and welcome to the Library.

Today, you’re looking at Landforms, which you’ll need to use Laurier’s Virtual Library to research.

Luckily, your teacher has given you the URLs needed on the handouts; so that’s pretty easy to navigate!

Our focus together, that’ll be upon discussing APA citation.

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.
