Citing Websites In-Text (APA)

Worksheet Description

This worksheet serves as an instructional tool for students learning to cite online sources according to APA (American Psychological Association) guidelines. The header of the worksheet boldly announces “Citing Websites In-Text (APA)” to immediately inform the user of the content’s focus. Students are given directions to practice writing in-text citations for various websites, an essential skill in academic writing. The instructions at the top clearly state the task: “Write an in-text citation for each website.”

The worksheet lists four different online articles, each providing a hypothetical title, author, publication date, and URL for the students to reference. The first article, “Born Again . . . and Again . . .”, authored by K Rogers in 2012, pertains to spirituality and growth, indicating a theme of personal development. The subsequent entries cover a variety of subjects, including Chinese medicine, the significance of movement for overall health, and the impact of video games on the brain. Each entry is formatted consistently to train students in recognizing and organizing the necessary elements for proper APA citation. This practice sheet is designed to be interactive, with blank lines under each entry where students are expected to write the correct in-text citation, thereby reinforcing their understanding through application.
