USING SOURCES: SUMMARY Emphasizes points over details Reduces a large text into a smaller text, in your own words Fits original text into the context of your writing

USING SOURCES: PARAPHRASE Captures important details of a text in your own words Modifies the original language of a text to match the context of your writing

USING SOURCES: DIRECT QUOTATION Maintains the author’s original phrasing word for word to: Display particularly poignant or articulate expression Highlight the author’s opinion Demonstrate contrasting perspectives

SIGNAL PHRASES Signal phrases can reveal intention and credibility of sources Examples: As Yanovski and Yanovski noted… Hoppins and Taveras, topical researchers, pointed out that… Author McDuffie has offered an argument about this view:…

MLA IN-TEXT CITATION With a signal phrase: Michael Paulson wrote in the New York Times, Odom “hungered to join the Hamilton cast because he recognized the ambition of the lyrics, the appeal of the music, and the drama of the story.” Without a signal phrase: Leslie Odom, the start of Hamilton, joined the show because “he recognized the ambition of the lyrics, the appeal of the music, and the drama of the story” (Paulson).
