Now we put it all together…
Step 1 – put your sources in order – alphabetical by the last name (if you have a source without an author, then you alphabetize by the first title you have – usually the title of the article)
Step 2 – carefully start writing the information on the page – be sure to double space (which means skip every other line)
Step 3 – don’t indent the first line of a source but indent the 2nd and 3rd line - reverse your indenting from when you write a paragraph…
example: normal…
Llamas are willing pack animals but only to a point. An overloaded llama will simply refuse to move. These animals often lie down on the ground and they may spit, hiss, or even kick at their owners until their burden is lessened.
