 * 2) Create an MLA citation for each source.Robbins, Eliza. //Koala Bears//. New York: Rosen Publishing Group, 2003. Print., I've chosen this source for a variety of reasons. First of all, it stuck out so me because the website looked legitimate and the title of it, "Koala Bears," was so vague that is seemed like it could have a lot of unique information concerning koala bears, their habitat, and their traits. It supports my thesis statement because I've acquired a reasonable amount of knowledge of koala bears from it. Helmer, Diana S. //The Koala: The Bear That's Not a Bear//. New York: PowerKids Press, 1997. Print., ﻿I chose this second source because of reasons similar to my first ones, but the reason it stood out to me was because I was curious about the title, which is "The Koala: The Bear That's Not a Bear." I learned a new thing from this article and that was that when you refer to the koala's traits, it really does not resemble any type of bear. This supports my thesis statement by telling me knew things that I did not know about the koala bear. Iizawa, Tadasu, and Shigemi Hijikata. //Koala Bears and Kangaroos//. Tokyo: Zokeisha Publications, 1974. Print. I have acquired more knowledge of the koala bear from my last source, which is why it supports my thesis statement. I learned that they thrive off of eucalyptus leaves. I also found out the average weight/length of an average male and female koala bear. This article also told me that males are usually larger than females, and gave me information about their physical traits.

 * 4) Cut and paste one sentence from the text that you would quote to support your thesis.
 * 5) "The koala weighs 15 to 30 pounds."
