Good afternoon LINC 7,
This afternoon, you're going to do some preliminary research about some important Canadians and learn more about using references, paraphrasing, direct quotations, and avoiding plagiarism.
First, I would like you to go to the Mohawk College library website and look at the information available for using the APA style for referencing. This is generally the most commonly used style, with the exception of the Humanities.

Next, I would like you to take some time to and choose one of the people from the list of important Canadians. You may need to do some research if you're not sure who these people are. At this stage, you may (you have my permission ;) use Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an acceptable resource to find a quick answer to a question. It is not, however, acceptable for academic research. When you begin working on the next part, you will need to consult other resources, which can include: online sources, books, journal, video clips. Remember to keep track of where you find your information.
You will need to write down the following information for each source:
- author's name
- title
- year published
- publisher
- page number
- if it's a website, the url address for the website
Important Canadians:
