I assume from your first comment you mean that you can't find the author of the website. If that's accurate, here's how you do it:
Title. (Date). Retrieved September xx, 2006 from the Internet: website URL.

You would use the same format for images. This is all in the student handbook. Please check previous posts for a link to the PDF file that you need to print off.

For the Social 10-1 Regional Brochure, would unemployment rates and the rate of wages be considered part of the economy or demographics?

just wondering, for the ss20 quiz on monday - how in depth do we have to study each topic mentioned in the list?
do you want us to know the dates, etc, or just have a fairly good idea of what happened and how it contributed to the french revolution?
thanks ^^v

Mr. G, are you supplying Social 10-1 with legal size paper for the regional brochure, and if you are, when will we be receiving it?

As I said in class, you need to look at the study guide carefully. The format of the quiz is matching and short answer. Looking at the study guide you should be able to see what parts would be included in a matching section, and which parts would be potential short answer questions. Prepare for the short answer questions by writing out point form notes that can be easily recalled for short answer type questions. Does that help?
