Referencing is an important skill not only for academic work, but also when writing reports for your workplace. A large number of employer provide standardised templates to ensure employees properly reference their work.
The most common form of referencing is known as the Harvard system and in the resources section there is an Excel spreadsheet for easy referencing.
Lesson Idea
Before lesson
1. Print out a referencing sheet for each student
2. Bring a variety of books to class / tell the library that your
students will be visiting
Lesson itself
1. Elicit students favourite subjects
2. Elicit how they would buy a book on their favourite subject
3. Write down example format of a book to reference on the board
4. Give each student a sheet
5. Ask them to go to the library and reference five books using
the sheet. (Or use books in class) Perhaps make it a race if that
isn't too disruptive.
This then leads into a piece of writing or a quiz on the harvard system.
