I have noticed that some of you are listing Google, You Tube, or Wikipedia as a source. These are just search engines that help you FIND your resources. Below is the correct way to cite your sources:
“Types of Volcanoes.” Enchanted Learning. 8 January 2011 http://www.enchantedlearning.com
You must include the name of the article, the name of the website, the date you visited it (approximately) and the web address. This will give credit to the person(s) who gave you that information.
