Guidelines for source submission: 
  • JSTOR source is REQUIRED.
  • Have all sources clearly labeled with your name.
  • Separate printed/photocopied sources from other sources by attaching pieces of each source with staples/paper clips. 
  • Clip all of your sources together (or tuck into a book if you have a book source). 
  • You do not have to bring me your primary source (book from class), unless you are using a different edition (not the one I gave you).  You DO have to include this book/source in your References and write a paragraph about it.
  • What to bring for JSTOR/online/photocopied sources:
    • origin page (the page that tells you it's JSTOR and says where it was originally published OR information about the website, including the author and piece title OR a photocopy of a reference book showing the title, author, publication info)
    • 2-3 relevant pages of the article/source
    • References/Works Cited/Bibliography
    • author bio and credentials (for non JSTOR sources)
