Integrating Quotes In your paper you will be asked to use both direct quotes and paraphrases to help to support your points This means that you are putting quotes into your writing that are directly from another source You do this very similarly to the way that you included dialogue in your memoir You must use in text citations for both paraphrases AND direct quotes

Notice how the period goes OUTSIDE of the quotation What is the difference? Direct quotation: A copy of the exact words an author or speaker uses. If you are writing an essay about a book, and you copy into your essay a phrase or sentence from the book, that is a direct quotation. Quotation marks must ALWAYS surround a direct quote. Ex: Lauren Tarshis writes that, “your tongue is pretty lost without your nose” (18). Notice how the period goes OUTSIDE of the quotation

What is the difference continued Paraphrase: is to put something written or spoken in someone else words into your own. A paraphrase is NOT surrounded by quotation marks because it is not a direct quote. But it MUST still be cited because while you may have reworded the information you did NOT think of it. Ex: Lauren Tarshis explains that our sense of taste is very dependent on our sense of smell (18).

We will read over the sheet together Things to note: The period ALWAYS goes after the citation The author’s name must be included at some point whether in the text or in the citation MUST have page numbers
