Finding Citation Parts on a Webpage for Grade 6
A practice worksheet for 6th graders that uses a labeled sample webpage to teach where to find the author, page title, website name, publication date, and URL needed for a works cited entry.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a short, focused lesson (about 20-30 minutes) before students begin a research project, so they can practice reading a webpage's parts before writing any citations.
- Discussion question: Why might the author's name be harder to find on some websites than on others, and what could you do if no author is listed?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a copy of the five-part list at the top of the worksheet and work through the first numbered label together as a class before students work independently.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them pick a real article from a news or science site and identify all five parts, then compare how those parts are laid out versus the sample page.
- Estimated time: About 20-30 minutes for labeling and filling in the chart, plus 5-10 minutes for a brief class check of answers.
