2. In-text Citations [or, how not to plagiarize]
If you are using information that did not originally come from your own brain, YOU must give credit to the person who originally had the info, or who inspired the thought.
There are several ways to do this:
Direct quotation
Embedding
Paraphrasing
All require citing your source.

3. Quotation
“Criminals obviously have illegal ways of obtaining guns” (Cassidy 22).
Long direct quotations: single space, 2” margins left/right
Shortly after her husband left for work, a Waco
Texas housewife heard the front door window
break. A strange man reached in, unlocked the
door, and entered the front room. The house-
wife ran to the Bedroom. She locked the door
and grabbed a handgun kept beneath the mattress.
The intruder kicked the door. He saw the gun
aimed at him. He left (Leddy 144).
Let’s say this info is from a website:
“Criminals obviously have illegal ways of obtaining guns” (Cassidy).
Let’s say this info is from a website and has no author:
“Criminals obviously have illegal ways of obtaining guns” (“Gun Control…”)

4. Embedding
Embedding is a combination of your own wording of the sentence, and part of someone else’s words.
Daemmrich believes that the purpose of this amendment was to “secure each individual the right to keep and bear arms so that he could protect his absolute individual rights…” (110).
Let’s say this info is from a website:

Let’s say this info is from a website and has no author:

5. After this slide go to the R3 Word document.
Paraphrasing
You take someone else’s words and rephrase them or put them in your own words:
Gun shops reported huge increases in sales prior to the new law’s implementation (Leddy, 20).
Let’s say this info is from a website:
