First, let's follow instructions to establish an account. 
Click on the Citation Machine link to open a new tab, keeping all tabs (including this Formative) open.
Create an account, using your school Google account as a "middle school student."
Return to this Formative (leaving the other tab open).

I mentioned in the above video that we would look at both Citation Machine and Easybib. Today you will work only with Citation Machine, but if you can operate one, you can operate the other.

Watch the video, THEN use the Google Doc to the right to create a Works Cited page using the supplied sources.
