4. IN-TEXT CITATIONS- HOW? NOTE* The punctuation for a quote should follow the citation/parenthesis in which you list the act, scene, page number, author name, etc. If the sentence ends in a period, you only need one. If the sentence ends in an exclamation point or question mark, put that in the original quote, with a period coming after the parenthesis.

5. HOW TO LEAVE OUT PARTS OF A QUOTE ELIPSES!!! … ELIPSES!!! … If your quote leaves out a word or words in one sentence, you use three dots “…” If your quote leaves out a word or words in one sentence, you use three dots “…” "The boy in the blue suit went home," could be shortened like this: "The boy... went home."

If you are combining quotes in the same paragraph, but in different sentences, you use four dots “….” If you are combining quotes in the same paragraph, but in different sentences, you use four dots “….”

6. QUOTATIONS VS PARAPHRASING Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly.

8. IF YOUR CITATION IS MORE THAN 40 WORDS… You separate it from the rest of your text, indenting the whole quote as you would a new paragraph. This is called a block quotation. You separate it from the rest of your text, indenting the whole quote as you would a new paragraph. This is called a block quotation. 1.Block quotations start on their own line. 2.Block quotations are not surrounded by any quotation marks. 3.The punctuation at the end of the block quotation goes before the citation. 4.The ending citation is included on the last line of the block quotation. 5.The text after the block quotation begins on its own line, with no indentation.

9. BLOCK QUOTATION EXAMPLE Today, digital cameras have practically taken over photography. As Johnson (2010) explained: Digital cameras now make up 90% of all camera sales at the leading electronic stores. This increase in sales can be partially attributed to the widespread use of email and social networking, which has encouraged the sharing of digital photos. (p. 23) Johnson further noted that, even more than with the shift to digital cameras, the increasing use of phones and iPods that have built-in cameras has replaced the use of film cameras.

10. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR QUOTATIONS 1. Did I provide adequate commentary on the cited material? Remember that the cited material should illustrate rather than substitute for your point. It should provide an original interpretation of that material. 2. Did I begin and end my paragraphs in my own voice? The opening sentence of each paragraph should be your topic sentence, and the final sentence in the paragraph should conclude your point and lead into the next. Without these aspects, you leave your reader without a sense of the paragraph's main purpose. 3. Have I used the cited material to support my specific thesis? All material that you cite should contribute to your main argument (also called a thesis or purpose statement).
