Notes
  • Arrange the items on your reference list alphabetically by author, interfiling books, articles, etc.
  • Use only the initials of the authors' first (and middle) names.
  • If no author is given, start with the title and then the date.
  • Magazine articles: include the month (and day) as shown under Newspapers.
  • Websites: if the date the page was created is not given, use (n.d.).

There are some norms to cite sources and it is something that we must teach our students to do. That is why I found this activity really important.
