Chicago-Style Citation

Engage & Explore

It may be quite difficult to engage a class of college students just coming back from Thanksgiving break and looking forward to Christmas break! However, in order to get the attention of the class I will begin by giving them sugar to wake up while I am introducing my topic.

Explain

Once I have introduced the topic, and I have the attention of the class, I will begin to explain who uses Chicago-Style Citation. Once they understand this, I will explain the three main components of Chicago Style Citation along with examples.

Extend

I will further explain Chicago Style Citation by giving an example of my own work. In this they will see everything they have learned so far in one example. They will also learn additional information like how to cite a block quote, how to use headers and footers, and how to space correctly.

Evaluate

The class will take a group quiz. The quiz will begin by having them cite information in a bibliography. Then I will ask them questions about information they learned in the presentation. When they answer correctly I will give them a piece of candy.
