 Types of IN TEXT CITATIONS 1. Direct Quote (AWE) 2. Paraphrase

PARAPHRASE  A paraphrase is the:  ORIGINAL SOURCE  BUT written IN YOUR OWN WORDS  It is tricky because you might have the tendency to copy things directly.  Let’s paraphrase the following sentence: “The heart has secrets that the world knows nothing of; oftentimes we call a man cold when he is merely sad.” (From Tennyson’s Greatest Works page 12)

DIRECT QUOTATION  A direct quotation is:  AUTHOR’S WORDS EXACTLY.  Many times students do not build enough CONTEXT in order to support the use of AWE.  EXAMPLE: “Why do I write? Perhaps in order not to go mad” (Wiesel 65).

Practice!

Warrior Notes (put in your Mel-Con Tab in your binder)  In-Text Citations for Print Sources with No Known Author  When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name.
