Portfolio Entry #3: Citation Rules
The headmaster mumbles and sighs to
himself.
''These kids forgot to put their sources again,
even after reminding them every day...''
We offer him a drink to cheer him up.

Metacognitive Analysis
As we saw in the previous entry, there are a lot of formats to cite sources, so it's far too easy to confuse and mix them all. APA format seems to be the most practical for students in comparison to the Traditional Endnotes or Footnotes format, which uses latin abbreviations.
The act of citing sources is not just to show that you are well informed in the topic you wrote, but to show respect for another author's work and give the credit they deserve. As teachers, we must set an example. We must give credit to the authors when we use material for our lessons (unless we make it ourselves), so that students pick up this habit and carry it out in their everyday life. Whether it be academic writings, stories, videos or photos, if they can write and give credits to an author, they should do it.

We
should frown on acts of stealing and plagiarizing, at the very least.
