citation.

Title, photographer, date, source and Library of Congress reproduction number
using the Where Credit is Due PowerPoint presentation (SM1_CreditDue). Review
the 5 necessary components of a photo credit citation (the class should be able to
name them) before distributing the resource practice sheet.
Distribute worksheets. Project a sample search on the board. Fill out a sample

student should be responsible for producing correct image citations on future
research projects as well.
