Next, you will create a citation for each event in your timeline. Number your citations in the same way that you numbered the events. Cite each source using MLA style. For example, a web page is cited as follows:

Author (if given). “Title of Web Page.” Name of Website. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), Date web page was created (if given). Web. Date accessed.

Here is a sample citation for a timeline event:
