  1. Did the bibliography info for the King Henry speech ever get posted on the blog? I can't figure out where it is.

    1. Here are the links you need:

      Act III, i: http://www.bartleby.com/70/2931.html

      Act IV, iii: http://www.bartleby.com/70/2943.html

      At the bottom of each page, you can click Bibliographic Record. Their Citation isn't exactly right, but you can find all the info you need and plug it into the proper format.

    2. So if there are two different pages, should we cite each of the acts as separate resources?

    3. http://edweb.tusd.k12.az.us/pueblo/library/bibnet.htm

      This is a fantastic outline for that citation, the example on the cite is even from the same webpage as King Henry.

  3. Also, for the Machiavelli packet, what book did it come from? Like what is another essay we have read out of that book so I can figure out what edition and such. Thanks

    1. "The Gettysburg Address" and "The Prince" are both from *50 Essays, 1st Edition*. The publication date is 2004. All the other info is the same.

  5. So I am having a lot of questions tonight. Sorry. Anyways, I know we are supposed to use the date and publisher and stuff on the front of the Octavian Nothing packet, but (and I feel like this is a stupid question) is that packet out of an anthology like the essays we read or is "the astonishing life of octavian nothing traitor to the nation" the title of an entire book?

    1. The title of the speech is on the web site.

    2. Well I see "Remarks by the President at the Acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize," but is that the title of it? I thought the title would be whatever he called it

      Delete
  7. also, do we need to put the web address for the Nobel Peace Prize Speech, or just cite it as a web source?

    1. Since I gave you the link, you don't need to include it on your Works Cited or your Bibliography.
