Liz's post is good for international students who are really struggling with the concept of referencing. However, I suspect it might be too simplistic for domestic students.
My students get lots of referencing help from our learning support people in our Library. That helps our domestic students get up to speed REALLY quickly (first semester, first year). However, our international students need a lot more focused attention, including having study buddies, lunchtime seminars and additional targeted resources.
For help with bibliographic entries I like these two tools:
- Massey Uni has an interactive APA guide for students who don't yet know what they are doing at http://owll.massey.ac.nz/referencing/apa-interactive.php
- Curtin Uni's pdf on APA referencing for students who want to refine their technique at http://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/c.php?g=202308&p=1332729
For international students who have no idea what Green Eggs and Ham is, I put together a part flip book at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa2D7oXGABE&feature=youtu.be using my own copy of Green Eggs and Ham and a snip of Garry Foster's reading.
