Instructions for Creating the Annotated Bibliography Template

Method 1:

The easiest way for students to format a page of their work on the Student Work site with a "template" that creates a uniform look-and-feel for student pages in the course is to choose one of the pre-made templates during the process of creating a new page.

Step 1: Start Creating a New Page.

You can do this either by going to the tab at the top for "Pages & Files" and then clicking "New",
Or you can add a link on the site to a not-yet-existing page (like this: Bibliography by Alan Liu), and then (after you have saved the page on which the link resides) click on the link to automatically open the dialogue for creating that new page.

Step 2: Before you actually click the button to create the new page, choose one of the pre-made templates for the page. For example:

Method 2:

If you create your page first without a template, then you can cut-and-paste into the page the section between dotted lines below. (This is what would have been put automatically on your new page according to Method 1 above.)
Page Naming Convention: Example: "Bibliography by Alan Liu"

Copy between the dotted lines:
