My 12 th Grade In-Text Citation Face HELP ME!!!! !

 In-text citations – used to put important source information in parentheses after a paraphrase or quote  NOTE: You should NOT have more than 1/3 of your paper cited In-text citations

 Used within your research paper to refer readers to the source in the Works Cited page  In case the reader wants to check it out!  Gives credit where credit is due  No in-text citation = plagiarism! Why Use In-Text Citations?

In-Text Citations: Use when…  Paraphrasing an original idea from a source  Citing a fact that is NOT “common knowledge”  Summarizing another person’s idea  Quoting

 For MLA style, in-text citations should include:  Author’s last name  Page number -Citation comes BEFORE the closing punctuation mark. Example, Quotation from GALE eBook: “He received honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, and Oxford universities” (Benson 583). Example, Paraphrase: Benjamin Franklin was educated at Harvard, Oxford, and Yale universities (Benson 583). In-Text Citations: MLA

 Set-up Line – a “signal phrase” that uses the author’s name to “set up” the fact/idea  If you use a set-up line = do NOT need to put the author’s name in parentheses As Sonia Benson explains Example, direct quotation: As Sonia Benson explains, “In 1787, Franklin attended the Constitutional Convention, during which members wrote the U.S. Constitution” (583). Sonia Benson tells us that Example, paraphrase: Sonia Benson tells us that Benjamin Franklin played a part in creating the U.S. Constitution in 1787 (583). Set-Up Line

 Stand up, head over to the front or back board, and write down 1 highlight from your notes! Pause, Stretch & Reflect!

 If you’re using an internet source that has no page numbers, such as an article, then only include the author’s last name in the citation. Example from a New Yorker article found online: “Even within Apple, Jobs was known for taking credit for others’ ideas” (Gladwell). In-Text Citations: No page numbers

 When the author’s name is NOT given, the first thing in parentheses should be the first word or a short phrase in your entry for the source in your Works Cited page  Usually the first word in the title  Not “the”  In quotes In-Text Citations: Author Unknown

Author Unknown: Example Example of a Paraphrase from Biography.com: Citation: "Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.." The Biography.com website. May Paraphrase: Barack was primarily raised by his mother because his father was studying in Massachusetts before his parents split apart (“Barack”).
