Introduction

In this article, we will explore how to create citations for the Roaring 20s unit activities in the CHC 2d academic Canadian history e-learning course. We will be discussing two methods to create citations: the citation builder built into the e-learning course itself and NoodleTools, a free and extensive tool available for the upper Grande District School Board. Let's dive in and learn how to properly format citations using these methods.

Two Methods to Create Citations

When it comes to creating citations for your academic work, there are two methods that come highly recommended. The first method is to use the citation builder that is built directly into the e-learning course. While this method is convenient, it does not provide the specific formatting required for the Chicago style. Another method that you can use is NoodleTools, which is a comprehensive and free tool available to those in the upper Grande District School Board. In the following sections, we will explore how to use both methods to create citations effectively.

Using the Citation Builder

To access the citation builder, navigate to the unit 2 activity 5 section of the e-learning course. Scroll down until You find the citation for beginners, which provides an option to use EasyBib. However, EasyBib does not offer the Chicago style format that we need. Instead, we will be using the citation builder provided within this section.

Next, open the citation builder and a new screen will appear. Here, you can enter the necessary details for your citation, including the URL, date of publication, author's name, document title, and Website name. Once you have entered all the required information, save the citation. You will now have your citation formatted in the Chicago style.

Using the citation builder is a straightforward and convenient way to generate citations. However, if you require more flexibility and options, NoodleTools is an excellent tool to consider.
