Footnotes

Some teachers will ask you to use footnotes, instead of a bibliography, to cite your sources.

Footnotes are included at the end of each page of your paper. You must include a footnote for each source on each page.

Footnote tips

• Ask your teacher which format to use for footnotes (e.g., MLA or APA).
• Keep track of your sources as you write your paper.
• Microsoft Word makes it easy to add footnotes to your paper.
