Activity
OpenWashington has created a tool to help you create citations for resources with a Creative Commons. It is a fill-in-the-blank form that easily creates the citation for you.
Using something you have created in class, create a citation with the Attribution Tool. Choose at least two of the attribution licenses and then share your results in a Google Doc/Word Doc with your teacher.
