  31. What to do if Your Source Doesn’t Match up Perfectly with a Model?? Don’t panic! Just use some good old common sense: • Identify a basic model to follow. • Look for models that show the additional elements in your source. • Add new elements from the other models to your basic model in the order indicated. • When in doubt, ask your teacher for help.

  32. General Reminders • Only use URLs if you think it will be impossible for your reader to find the site on his/her own or if your teacher requires it. • If you do use one, do it as follows: Eaves, Morris, Robert Essick, and Joseph Viscomi, eds. The William Blake Archive. Lib. Of Cong., 28 Sept. 2007. Web. 20 Nov. 2007. <http://www.blakearchive.org/blake/>.
