APA Referencing
There are some simple rules that all grade levels should follow when referencing:
1. Use the title ‘Reference List’ not Bibliography.
2. List all the references in alphabetical order.
3. Always indent after the first line, one tab in.
4. Use the correct format for each reference (see guide below).
5. Do not number the references or use separate lists for books / websites / movies.

- You should have between 5 and 8 sources for each assignment.
- You should only have Wikipedia one time per reference list.
