The Gingerbread Protests in Far Far Away
Ella, Cinder. "Dear Gingerbread Men: I¡¯m Through Cleaning Up Your Crumbs!¡± The New York
Times, 22 May 2014, www.nytimes.com/2014/05/22/fairytales/22ander.html?_r=0.
Accessed 12 May 2016. This is a citation for an online article. Make sure that your online
articles are reliable. Look for established news sources, and lean toward urls that end in
.org or .edu. Make sure that the articles rely on facts. Real facts, not alternative.
Man, Muffin. Drury Lane: It¡¯s Even Drurier Now. Sprinkle, 2015. This is a citation for a book.
As you can see, it is set up ¡°Last Name, First Name. Title. Publisher, Year.¡± Additionally,
your annotation should begin immediately after the citation. Make sure you give a short
summary of the text, and then give some sentences of take-away. Also, notice that these
citations are in alphabetical order by author¡¯s last name.
White, Snow. "Avoiding Self-Organized Extinction: A Case Against Eating
Cookies." International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology, vol. 14,
no. 1, 2014, pp. 27-36. This is a citation for a journal article from a database. Make sure
that you include all of the required info when it comes to volume numbers and page
numbers.

5545, 9 Nov. 2014, pp. 1283-84. You may come across a situation where you want to use
two different sources written by the same author. In those cases, write three dashes
instead of rewriting the author¡¯s name. In terms of how you should order them, keep
them alphabetical by article name. Because the title of the first article begins with ¡°A,¡± it
comes first on the list.
