BIBLIOGRAPHY CREATION (we use MLA Style) RESOURCE: attention to detail (punctuation, spacing, capitalization etc.) is paramount. Type citation & annotation as usual, with normal wrap-around, then use tab or space key to make correct indentations. Citations and annotations are single-spaced, with double-space in between. The rule book states that students may receive assistance with typing, so please allow others to help, if you need it!! These examples are the basics: see Ms. Renee for other types of sources not listed here. Sources need to be separated into primary/secondary, and alphabetized by first letter of citation.#’s refer to Ms. Renee’s book for MLA, you may ignore!
