As you develop your writing skills, you will go beyond writing about what you know and start writing about topics that require research. The good news: the Internet has become an excellent source of information and research. The bad news: It seems that you can find anything on the Internet. But keep n mind that just because you have found something on the Internet, doesn't mean that is true, or even that it is accurate. Always check the source of information that you find on the Internet and make sure that it is not just someone's opinion before using that information in your paper.
Also, be sure to follow the correct style for citing the source of information you find on the Internet. This basically involves giving the reader the URL where you found the information and the date that you retrieved the information. Style guides, such as APA, MLA, Chicago Manual, will vary slightly on the format of the citation. Just stay consistent with the style guide you are following when you write the essay. Consistency and accuracy are the important things about references and citations.
