Zombie Apocalypse Project: SlideShow Citations

Instructions*

Text

Rule: If you are citing text that you've summarized or paraphrased, cite it just like you would in a written paper. 

Example: A virus of this type can infect the brain in minutes, turning a seemingly calm young lady into a flesh-eating monster (Doucleff).

Images and Maps

Rule: When citing images within the slide presentation, start with the word "Fig.", which stands for "figure". Then include a number that corresponds with the image. For example, if this is the first image that a person is likely to see when viewing your presentation, use the number "1". Then include the title of your image, followed by the Works Cited reference to the source.

Example: Fig. 1. Map of Hillsborough County and Amherst Municipality (Shaw).
