6. Remember our Objective
We will properly cite textual evidence in a paragraph.

7. Quotations and Paraphrasing
Quotations must be identical to the original. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author.
Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from the text into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original author.

8. Introducing a Quote
One of your jobs as a writer is to guide your reader through your text. Don't simply drop quotations into your paper and leave it to the reader to make connections.
Integrating a quotation into your text usually involves two elements:
A signal that a quotation is coming
An assertion that indicates the relationship of the quotation to your text (this is your explanation as to why this quote is important.)

9. Signals for Quotes
Ross (1993), in her study of poor and working-class mothers in London from …
According to Ross (1993), …
According to the text, it says …
The author, Michael Ross, states …
On page ___ it said “____________.”

10. In-text Citations
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page.
The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.

11. In-text Citations Examples:
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263).  Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).
Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

12. Works Cited Page
Those citations tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:
Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. London: Oxford UP, 1967.

13. Practice
Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final [research] paper. Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter. Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes.
Lester, James D. Writing Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976):

14. 1. After reading the original version, indicate whether the examples are plagiarized or not and correct any errors.
In research papers students often quote excessively, failing to keep quoted material down to a desirable level. Since the problem usually originates during note taking, it is essential to minimize the material recorded verbatim (Lester 46-47).

15. 2. After reading the original version, indicate whether the examples are plagiarized or not and correct any errors.
Students often use too many direct quotations when they take notes, resulting in too many of them in the final research paper. In fact, probably only about 10% of the final copy should consist of directly quoted material. So it is important to limit the amount of source material copied while taking notes.

16. Closure
Explain how quotations and paraphrasing differ.
