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'
