Address historical figures/authors/other people by last name after introducing them. Ex: John Brown was a hero. Brown states… Use the text accurately – only change words in a quote if you NEED to, and if you do use brackets! Do not use abbreviations in schoolwork! Do not write how you talk!!

DBQ Notes Quotes should flow smoothly with the rest of your sentence Help yourself by eliminating as many pronouns as possible from quotes you want to use Only use the parts of quotes that are absolutely necessary – no super long quotes Quotations in your sentence start with a lowercase letter Ex: Mrs. Pitner says “never use uppercase letters at the start…” “Doc A states…” is NOT your point for PIE!!! Points need to be something you can defend! Use the same verb tense throughout!
