14. Let us Focus on Details  Detail from The Charioteer at Delphi Museum, Greece

15. Quotations  Double quotation marks around short quotations (<40 words).  Longer quotations (>40 words) block indent and omit quotation marks.  Changing quotations, i.e., omitting text (…) or inserting text ([ ])

16. Short Quotation (<40 words) “An honor code usually consists of a signed statement in which students promise not to cheat and not to tolerate those who do” (Harris, 2001, p. 117).

17. Long Quotation (>40 words) Athletes are searching for anything that will make them more competitive including nutritional supplements, such as vitamins, energy bars and drinks that may compensate for dietary deficiencies, and over-the-counter products like shark cartilage and amino acids, which purport to increase muscle mass, boost energy and endurance, prompt weight gain (or loss), or reduce recovery time between workouts. (Jollimore, 2004, p. 54)

18. Adding Text to a Quotation ( [ ] ) “Most American journalists are holed up in their rooms [in Baghdad], reporting the war by remote: scanning the wires, working their cell phones, watching broadcasts of Al Jazeera” (Reitman, 2004, p. 110).

19. Omitting Text from a Quotation (…) “Canada supports sustainable development activities, including responsible hydrocarbon exploration and development, in habitats that are not critical to wildlife.” “Canada Supports sustainable development activities … in habitats that are not critical to wildlife” (Anderson, 2001). What is missing here?

20. In-Text Citation (APA Style) It has been suggested that “For all the progress athletes are making in eating well, many continue to rely on risky dietary supplements, which are often tainted by banned substances such as nandrolone” (Jollimore, 2004, p. 54). OR

21. In-Text Citation (APA Style) Jollimore (2004) states that “For all the progress athletes are making in eating well, many continue to rely on risky dietary supplements, which are often tainted by banned substances such as nandrolone” (p. 54).

22. Paraphrasing  Restating the author’s ideas into your own words  Need to do more than just change a word or two

23. Paraphrasing Original text: “Admissions officers agree that whatever the topic, everything rests in the execution. They look for a thoughtful, revelatory essay that enhances the rest of a student’s application” (Flora, 2004, p.24). Sample Paraphrase: A students’ application for admission is based on many things, one being a creative and unique essay (Flora, 2004).

24. But what does this all mean?

25. Essay Development What purpose are you trying to achieve?  Describe something  Explain something  Persuade the reader  Support a certain point of view Example (Explain): “Animal symbolism in Inuit art”

28. Citation Example The Inuit believe that they return as animals after they have shaken off their human mortal coil. Thus, when you see images of dancing bears in Inuit art, this represents Inuit souls who have returned as polar bears and the dancing represents joy and fun (INUIT.NET, 2005). INUIT.NET. (2005).
