This assignment should be printed out, in correct APA format. It will be collected with a few other homework assignments, in a week or two.

ITEMS TO PLACE IN YOUR REFERENCE LIST:

A book titled Lost Lake, by Mark Slouka.

An interview you’ve done with Lady Gaga after halftime at the Super Bowl on 5 Feb 2017. Would you need to add this to a reference page in APA? If so, create the citation for your reference list. If not, leave it out.

An academic journal article by Case and Deaton, published in the PNAS Journal (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), titled “Rising morbidity and mortality in midlife among white non-Hispanic Americans in the 21st century.” Find this one yourself using Kresge or a web search.

Use LexisNexis (click here, then scroll DOWN to click on “LexisNexis Academic Universe”) to search for a film review of The Shape of Water, by Guillermo del Toro. Then narrow your search to newspaper articles only. Add two (2) of the sources you find to your reference list. Pick whichever two reviews you like from your search results.

Use LexisNexis again, to search for “Supreme Court,” and narrow your results to “industry trade press” sources. Choose one interesting article from this narrowed list, and add the citation to your reference list.

Cosmos,by Carl Sagan.

***Be aware, for items like books, music, and movies in this list: the link is NOT the thing you’re citing. I’m only providing the links as a means of helping you find the information you need about the source. The source you’re citing here, for example, is the HBO episode itself (NOT the IMDB page about it).

Episode 60 of the podcast Switched on Pop, which you can hear here:

One academic journal article of your choosing, related to your research topic for this term. If it is already cited properly on your annotated bib, you can simply cut-and-paste that onto this list.

Lastly, be sure to check the indentation of your document. Check font sizes and styles, and make sure they all match. Double space the whole thing. And put these items all in alphabetical order by author name. Take a look at this list of “basic rules” for APA reference pages (click here), and try to follow them all.
