How to create the last slide of your PowerPoint -- Your works cited list or bibliography:
If you are using World Book or SIRS, look at the bottom of the article for the Citation, copy it, and save it.
If you are using other sources that don't already provide a citation, use Bibme.org.  Here are some directions:  Creating a Bibliography
 

 For example, I researched Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Supreme Court judge.
