Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a targeted educational tool designed to teach students how to create APA (American Psychological Association) citations for print books. The sheet is clearly titled “Print Books (APA)” to guide students in their learning process. It prompts the student to use a provided template to practice writing complete citations for books by filling in the author’s last name, first initial, year of publication, title in italics, edition if applicable, and publisher.

This practice reinforces their understanding of the APA citation style through hands-on experience. The instructional sheet is designed to be clear and easy to follow, with straightforward instructions and a clean layout that includes a graphic of a stack of books, emphasizing the focus on print resources. This worksheet allows students to engage with the material actively, ensuring that they learn the necessary details of APA formatting for book citations.
