1. REVIEWING AND PRACTICING CITATIONS AND QUOTING

2. TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW: A REVIEW Database: online collection of resources Paraphrase: putting text into your own words Source: a place from which info can be obtained Citation: giving credit to your source (formula) Works cited: the page that lists all your citations Annotation: summary and evaluative ¶ on your source Abstract/Annotated Bibliography: the annotation plus the citation

3. PRACTICING: On your desk is a book with one author. Use the following formula and create a citation for that book: Last Name, First. Title. City published: Publishing Company, copyright date. On your desk is also an anthology. Create a citation for “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift using the following formula: Last Name, First. “Title of Story.” Name of Anthology (copyright date of Anthology): page numbers.

4. MOVING ON: QUOTING When you write a paper, often times you will have to include quotes from your sources to help back up the arguments you are making. Each quote you use MUST include the following: Lead in to the quote (3 kinds) Quotation marks around the quote Citation (different kind) after the quote Period after the citation

5. LEADING IN TO YOUR QUOTES: THERE ARE 3 KINDS OF LEAD INS: SAID, SENTENCE, AND BLENDED 1.The said lead in (easiest and most popular). Begin quote with “He said, or some variation of that Example: Bella was shocked when Edward said to her, “And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…” (Meyer, 274).

6. THE SENTENCE LEAD IN 2.The sentence lead in (easy, but not used very often for some reason). Write a complete sentence, but follow with a colon and the quote that supports your idea after the colon. Example: Edward feels that he will harm Bella, so he tries not to fall in love with her but fails: “And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…” (Meyer, 274).

7. THE BLENDED LEAD IN 3.The blended lead in (the most challenging and usually only requires snippets of quotes, not whole quotes). The quote needs to blend in with your sentence, making it seem like the words are yours. Example: When the “lion fell in love with the lamb,” the tone of the entire book changed from mysterious to romantic (Meyer, 274).

8. NOW YOU TRY: Find ONE important line from each of your articles. On a sheet of paper, practice a different kind of lead-in for each quotation. Keep this sheet, and incorporate these into your annotation paragraphs tomorrow and Friday.

12. WHAT IS A CREDIBLE SOURCE? Credible Source = Ask the following questions Who is the author? Credible sources are written by authors respected in their fields of study How recent is the source? What is the author's purpose? When deciding which sources to use, you should take the purpose or point of view of the author into consideration Be especially careful when evaluating Internet sources! Never use Web sites where an author cannot be determined, unless the site is associated with a reputable institution such as a respected university, a credible media outlet, government program or department, or well-known non-governmental organizations.
