3  Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as "symbol-using animals" (3).  Human beings have been described as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3).  Name of author is the first thing listed in bibliography entry

4  Shortened title of the work  (“Impact of Global Warming” 6) – quotation marks are used because this is a short work  Name of article is the first thing listed in bibliography entry

5  Include in the text the first item that appears in the Bibliography entry that corresponds to the citation (e.g. author name, article name, website name, film name)  Unless you must list the website name in the signal phrase in order to get the reader to the appropriate entry, do not include URLs in-text. Only provide partial URLs such as when the name of the site includes, for example, a domain name, like CNN.com or Forbes.com as opposed to writing out http://www.cnn.com or http://www.forbes.com

6  To cite multiple sources in the same parenthetical reference, separate the citations by a semi-colon:... as has been discussed elsewhere (Burke 3; Dewey 21).

10  Evidence shows your readers the facts that make you believe that your reasons are true.  Answers the question “How do you know that your reasons are true?”  Support your reasons  Needs to be information that someone who disagrees with your position would accept to be true
