15 Another good website Easybib http://www.easybib.com/ If you use this site, you must make sure that the book you find (by searching for its title) is actually the same book you’re using.

17 Keep Track of your Sources! You must keep track of what info came from where! If you print something, write the source info on the back. You will need: –Direct quotes & some paraphrased info –Even paraphrased info needs citation! If it is someone else’s idea, then give that person the credit.

18 Citing Quotes in the Essay “As in most traditional societies, women spent much of their time indoors in such houses, cooking, making clothing and caring for children and the elderly, but they would also have had responsibility for the dairy” (Jesch 57). From books/print – author’s last name & pg.# Or “As in most traditional societies, women spent much of their time indoors in such houses, cooking, making clothing and caring for children and the elderly, but they would also have had responsibility for the dairy” (History). - If no webmaster/author, use the first unique word of title

19 Citing Book Quotes “Direct quote” (Jesch 57). –Quotation marks, quote itself, quotation marks, one space, (author’s last name space page #). According to Jesch, “direct quote” (57). –Author’s name, comma, one space, quotation marks, direct quote, quotation marks, one space (page #).

20 Citing Web Quotes “Direct quote” (Jesch). *for websites with an author/webmaster, use only the author’s last name “Direct quote” (History). *for websites without an author listed – use the first word of the citation from your WC page –WC = Works Cited

21 Do NOT use… the web address to cite a website. Do NOT write this down – King Arthur was a ruler who was respected by all and always followed the rules of chivalry. “Direct quote” (www.brittania.com/kings.html). If King Arthur saw someone in need, he helped that person, regardless of their status. I should NEVER see a web address within the text of your essay.

22 The weaponry used in the Iliad closely matches what was actually used in combat by Greek soldiers. In the fight between Achilles and Hector, they used a variety of close combat weapons. They began by throwing a long spear at one another, which consisted of a long wooden shaft with a “bronze shank,” (Homer 72). So, like much of their armor, the heads of their spears were also made of bronze. Not only were spears used in this battle, but swords as well. “With this he drew the whetted blade that hung upon his left flank, ponderous and long,” (Homer 73). These epic heroes used both long spears and swords in battle. The spears were most often used for fighting an opponent at a distance, and the swords were later used for battle when the enemy was in closer proximity. However, these were not the only weapons used by ancient Greek soldiers. “Greek weaponry and armor underwent a continuous evolution in design from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine period. The arms with which the individual foot soldier was normally equipped included various combinations of swords, spears, javelins, bows and arrows, and sling-propelled pellets,” (Hanssen). Over time, their weaponry became more and more advanced including catapults and other long-range weapons. As far as the basic weaponry of the Greeks, Homer described it very accurately. Fighting in battles on a daily basis naturally led to many deaths; the Greeks and Trojans were very specific about burial traditions for fallen soldiers.
