bhowlett28 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I need to know if citations and footnotes are a good idea on section 1 (Identification and Evaluation of Sources) of the IB Internal Assessment for history. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB_taking_over Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 In all honesty it varies greatly by situation. If you get an idea from somewhere else, you need to cite it. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhowlett28 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 So if I were to find a small piece of information about an author that I mentioned in my origin, I would cite that right? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosalina Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Yes, you would. Citations would also be needed if you directly stated the author's purpose from the book. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhowlett28 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Last Question: Is it a good Idea to have a picture on the title page, and if so, should I also include it in the appendix? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB_taking_over Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Pic on title page: unless your teacher has said explicitly to put one on (or not) it's completely up to you. If you put one just footnote it with the source info. In the appendix: don't put anything that's not critical to your analysis in there. So, if you put a pic on the cover page just because it looks nice you don't need it in the appendix. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IB_taking_over Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 If you put a pic, you have to cite it. That's at least what my history teacher said. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't have a picture on your title page anyway. If there is an image that is very relevant (e.g. in my IA, I compared Trotsky and Goldstein from Nineteen Eighty-Four and it was far more useful to show a picture of him than to waste words to describe him), you can include it in your summary of evidence/analysis (Part B or whatever it's called now) within the first few lines. It will be seen as bad style if you just put a picture on your title page. I did it like this: my first sentence was "Leon Bronstein, better known as Trotsky [footnote]" and under the footnote, I had "A photograph of him is included as Appendix A", then I cited the photo both as a footnote under the appendix and in the reference list. Good luck with the HI! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
