Web Sites (APA)

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to instruct students on the proper method for citing online sources in APA (American Psychological Association) format. The title “Web Sites (APA)” clearly designates the focus of the worksheet to web source citations. Students are provided with a template that prompts them to input information such as the author’s last name and first initial, date of publication, article title, publication name, and URL.

To aid in learning, the worksheet offers an example citation showcasing the correct APA format, which includes the author’s name, publication year, title of the article, name of the publication, and the URL. This example is a model for students to emulate when they create their own citations in the provided space labeled “Write the Citation:”. The design of the worksheet is straightforward, making it easy for students to understand and follow the steps needed to construct proper APA citations for web sources. It includes a visual element of a person working on a computer, which aligns with the theme of citing digital content. This hands-on approach to learning citation formats is essential for developing the skills necessary for academic writing and research.
