What to Include

Students are required to use their MyBib accounts, choosing MLA 8 Format. Your bibliography is printed and handed in with your report. See MYP Librarian if you have any questions. Include:

• Interviews
• Correspondence
• Research using books, online databases, websites
• Any videos or YouTube selections used in research or for ideas
• Any lectures, presentations, performances, and political or organization meetings attended

TIPS

• Enter your sources into MyBib when you first find and use them--making sure the date is included
• Share them with your Supervisor at least 3x, once within the first month of beginning research, once before the winter break, and before the final submission of your report--at least 3 days before it is due.
