I have always tried to teach the concept of citation to students, but have always used MLA because it's easiest and the most likely style that beginning college students will encounter.  I am a big fan of Writer's Inc. for College.  Since I teach 9-12, I begin with a simple bibliography with 2 or 3 sources (or more simply using quotes of text and page/line numbers in written responses) and eventually culminate in a full research paper with seniors with a Works Cited page and parenthetical citations.  I think the concept of citing one's sources or text to support one's response is more important than the style one chooses.  I also believe that the whole idea of citing one's sources is rather abstract and may be a bit above middle school students.  
 
Good luck!

Hello,
 
Would any of you who teach at either the middle school or high school level have a recommendation for a style guide to cite sources in a research paper?  My niece teaches middle school language arts and asked my help, but I havenąt worked with anything academic in ages.  I promised her Iąd ask you for your suggestions.
 
If this is something better discussed off-list, please send your favorite ways for your students to cite sources to me directly.
 
Thank you.
