Even if you summarize their ideas, you should still include a source citation.

3. Examples Original source (Wikipedia) “The endosymbiotic theory states that several key organelles of eukaryotes orig -inated as symbioses between separate single-celled organisms. According to this theory, mitochondria andplastids (e.g. chloroplasts), and possibly other organelles, represent formerly free-living bacteriathat were taken inside another cell as an endosymbiont. Molecular and biochemical evidence suggest that the mitochondrion developed from proteobacteria and the chloroplast from cyanobacteria.”organelleseukaryotessymbiosesmitochondriaplastidschloroplastsbacteriaendosymbiontproteobacteriacyanobacteria Sample Essay The Endosymbiotic theory says that the organelles of eukaryotes started by working together as unicellular organisms. According to this theory, mitochondria and chloroplasts represent formerly free-living bacteria that were taken inside another cell.

Some organelles could be “formerly free-living bacteria that were taken inside another cell” (Endosymbiotic 1). Eventually eukaryotic organisms were produced.

7. When to use in text notations You will need to use in text notations (author’s last name and page number in parentheses) when you: 1.Quote from a source 2.Paraphrase someone else’s idea or theory 3.Use statistics 4.Use unusual or controversial ideas or facts

8. How to use in text notations Notations are placed immediately after the information from the source. The author or editor’s last name and page number where the info was found should appear in parenthesis ex. (Smith 457) Ask me if there’s more than one author If there is no author, use a shortened form of the title with the page number (Endosymbiotic 27) No commas!! Anything you notate needs to be on your reference page
