footnote referencing system

For social studies in 7th and 8th grade you will be required to use a very simple form of referencing. When you are writing and you want to quote someone like this " blah blah blah" of if you are talking about an idea that you read somewhere you need to add a footnote.

To do this in word go to Insert/Reference/Footnote
You will then have a small number inside the text and this is linked to a space at the bottom of the page.

In the space at the bottom of the page you can put the source that you got this information from. If it is a website put the Address e.g. http://www.pyongyang-metro.com/. If it is a book put the author, year of publication (you will find this on the inside cover of the book) and title e.g. Shakespeare, William (1970) 'Romeo and Juliet'

From the countries we have looked at - i.e. China, Japan, South or North Korea - you must decide on an aspect you would like to investigate and agree this with me. You will then have to research and write a report on this aspect. Bellow are listed some links that may help you to think of some ideas. N.B some of these may be biased!!!
