Responding to an Argument paper

Here’s all the information you need:

1. Last name of the author, First name of the author.

2. “Title of the Article.”

3. Title of the Publication.

4. Publisher (usually found at the bottom of the website by the copyright symbol),

5. Day Mon. Year of publication.

6. The type of medium (web, print, interview, movie, etc.).

7. The last date YOU accessed the article.

8. <The complete URL of the website>.

Then, just put it all together! For example:

Ciccarelli, Raffaella. “Miami Seaquarium abandoned captive orca and dolphins before fierce hurricane.” News.com.au. News Limited, 13 Sept. 2017. Web. 6 Oct. 2017. <http://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/miami-seaquarium-abandoned-captive-orca-and-dolphins-before-fierce-hurricane/news-story/6e574f6160c9613020d23c3c8b4900f7>.

REMEMBER:

1. ALL citations should be double-spaced!

2. Every single piece of punctuation is VERY IMPORTANT in citations! Don’t be sloppy and leave any punctuation marks out!

3. ALL DATES should be formatted as DAY MON. YEAR!

4. NO HYPERLINKS!!!!

5. Some websites will not have the publisher at the bottom of the article page. But don’t give up right away! Try looking for the name of the publisher on the website’s homepage or in the “About Us” section.

6. If there is more than one author, list ALL the names, but only the FIRST one listed should be last name, first name; all the rest should be first name last name. For example:

Dwarf, Grumpy, Sneezy Dwarf, and Doc Dwarf. “Why I Hate Living With Roommates.” Diamond Miners’ Monthly. Fantasia Publishing, 17 Aug. 2009. Web. 6 Oct. 2017. <www.diamondminersmonthly.com/17-8-09-why-hate-roommates.html>.

7. If there are FOUR OR MORE authors, only list the FIRST one (last name, first name), and then put “et al.” (“and others” in Latin) after it. For example:

But this isn’t the only instance where beekeeping has had an effect on the local animal population. In Germany, for instance, several long-time beekeepers noticed an insurgence of bears during the spring months of 2012 (Dwarf, Dwarf, and Dwarf). “They were everywhere, it seemed,” said Hapsburg local Annette Funicello. “I couldn’t understand why they were carrying picnic baskets, though.” Funicello also questioned why the bears didn’t seem to fear humans (“The HPV Vaccine...”). Indeed, many of the locals were confused – until scientists revealed that bears really like honey (Manfred). However, it was later discovered that the bears weren’t drawn by the honey so much as the beekeepers’ flamboyant outfits (Dwarf, Dwarf, and Dwarf). Bugs Bunny, et al., suggested that the bears be tranquilized and quarantined for future research, but also acknowledged that such an effort would take time and resources that might not be available in the country’s budget (Bunny, et al.). Ultimately, the solution enacted by the German government was to lure the bears away from the beekeeping stations with a more tempting treat: smoked salmon. Dozens of citizen volunteers hung strips of salmon on tree branches in a path leading to nearby streams, where the fish were spawning (“Net Neutrality…”).
