1. Warm-up
Helping verbs: Sometimes a word that is NOT a verb comes in the middle of a verb phrase. DO NOT include it when you are asked to provide a verb phrase. Only verbs can be in VERB phrases.
Samples:
We will not be coming to the party. will be coming (the word not isn’t a verb)
Kevin might be cautiously sneaking into the backyard. might be sneaking (the word cautiously isn’t a verb)
My parents have often stayed late at work. have stayed (the word often isn’t a verb)

3. Using Evidence from Text
How to CITE OR DOCUMENT A SOURCE
HOW TO “borrow” an author’s words
Intellectual property of Becci Carmack: Use with permission only.

4. Number one way to cite a source!!!!
Use a TEXT REFERENCE!
Text reference = title + author

5. Review: What does a text reference include?
Title
Quotation marks for PASS (including short stories)
Underlining for everything else (novels, etc.)
Important words capitalized
Author
Correctly capitalized

6. Using text references with textual evidence…
In our writing, we often refer to something we have read in print or online.
If we refer to this source, we use a text reference (title and author) to let our readers know what we have read.
In “Two Kinds,” Amy Tan tells about the relationship between a mother and daughter.
We are providing documentation of the source we have used.

7. Another way to cite a source—
WHEN WE WANT MORE THAN JUST A REFERENCE….
Sometimes we do more that just refer to what we have read; we borrow evidence from the text we have read.

8. Which is evidence? Why?
If we were in a court of law, which of the following would be evidence? Thumbs up=yes; thumbs down=no.
The closing argument to the jury
The murder weapon
DNA samples
The attorney’s explanations and comments
Expert witness testimony

9. What is considered evidence in writing?
Evidence=exact words from an outside source.
This is similar to calling an expert witness in a trial. Respected authors can be our “expert witness” to back up ideas and explanations we have.
These are the passages we use from the novel, story, article, or book in the EXACT words of the author.

10. What is considered evidence in writing?
Evidence=exact words from an outside source.
When writing an essay or paragraph, we choose passages that support a claim.
These direct quotations are called internal citations or textual evidence when we use them inside a paragraph. We are providing documentation of the source we have used.

11. Textual evidence in writing=citation
One way to think of evidence is to find a passage from text (a story, article, etc.) that proves our point.
When we use this in writing with the author’s name, we call it a citation.
Remember that an internal citation is just a passage taken from the text, story, or piece of writing. It is written word for word.

12. Rules for borrowing
Have you ever borrowed something from someone else?
Have you ever let someone else borrow your things?
How should we treat things we borrow?

13. MLA format

“Exact words of the author” (Last 777).
Example:
“And once they realized how important art was to Homer, they encouraged it” (Levitt 586).

41. MLA format: new information
1. When we use the SAME SOURCE multiple times, we only need to put the page number in the parentheses after the first time—unless we change sources (then we have to start over!)
Example:
“And once they realized how important art was to Homer, they encouraged it” (Levitt 586).
“The family was quick to support him in his work” (589).
“Many people appreciated the art done in his early years” (Smith 12).
“Homer was a recluse for most of his later years” (Levitt 589).

42. Which side is correct? Pink or blue?

43. MLA format: new information 2
MLA format: new information 2. What if we do not need the beginning of the sentence? Do it like this-
The original text=
I saw her chest was heaving up and down in an angry way.
Just put the quotations marks where you want to begin. Remember to copy the rest EXACTLY!
“her chest was heaving up and down in an angry way” (Tan 23).
CAUTION!!!!! Do not leave out too much! You must keep the core meaning of the passage!

44. Which side is correct. Green or blue
Which side is correct? Green or blue? The text: According to studies of all the segments of the population in Southern California, a majority of Californians eat more green vegetables than any other state.
“A majority of Californians eat more green vegetables than in any other state” (Smith 29).
“a majority of Californians eat more green vegetables than in any other state” (Smith 29).

45. MLA format: new information What punctuation do we use when we make changes to the author’s original text?
Brackets [ ]
TODAY WE WILL LEARN ONE WAY TO USE BRACKETS.

46. 3.What if I leave off the beginning, but I need the first letter to be capitalized now?
The original text=
I saw her chest was heaving up and down in an angry way.
What if you want the beginning word to start a new sentence? Any time you make changes in the author’s text, you must use brackets. Do it like this and use the bracket to show you are changing the lower case letter to an upper case one.
“[H]er chest was heaving up and down in an angry way” (Tan 23).

47. Do you know it? Explain these to me… What is MLA format? (review)

Part three=if there are quotation marks in the original text (w/ Ribbons)
9/29/17
Part four=ellipsis and brackets for taking off the end (w/Red Kayak)
Part five=ellipsis and brackets for taking out the middle (w/ Red Kayak)
Part six= changing the intent (w/ Red Kayak)

52. MLA format: review
1) When we talk about borrowing an author’s words, there is an exact form for doing that.
Anytime you use the author’s words, use this pattern.
Quotation marks. Exact words. Quotation marks. Parenthesis. Author’s last name. Page number. Parenthesis. Period.
“Exact words of the author” (Last 777).
Example:
“And once they realized how important art was to Homer, they encouraged it” (Levitt 586).
2) When we use the SAME SOURCE multiple times, we only need to put the page number in the parentheses after the first time—unless we change sources (then we have to start over!)
(Herriot 392).
(392).
(384).
(390).
Use the author’s last name the first time.

53. MLA format: review
3) If we want to drop the first part of a sentence, we just put the quotation marks in wherever we want to begin.
“since Oscar was such a friendly cat” (Herriot 392).
4) If we are starting a sentence, we may need to capitalize the first letter of the “chopped” sentence. If so, use brackets.
“[S]ince Oscar was such a friendly cat” (Herriot 392).

54. What if there are quotation marks in the text already?
If the author has used quotation marks…say for a character’s words…we replace those with single quotation marks.
Our double quotation marks (”) means we are borrowing the author’s words.
Single quotation marks (‘) are used to replace double ones in the text.
LIKE THIS—
In the text: “You want me to be someone I’m not!” I sobbed.
In our citation: “ ‘You want me to be someone I’m not!’ I sobbed” (Tan 23).

55. Which side is correct. Green or blue. The text: “He’s mean
Which side is correct? Green or blue? The text: “He’s mean!” I told my mom.
“ ‘He’s mean!’ I told my mom” (Smith 29).
‘He’s mean!’ I told my mom” (Smith 29).

56. Which side is correct. Green or blue. The text: “He’s mean
Which side is correct? Green or blue? The text: “He’s mean!” I told my mom.
“He’s mean!” I told my mom” (Smith 29).
“ ‘He’s mean!’ I told my mom” (Smith 29).

57. What did we learn today?
If the author has used quotation marks…say for a character’s words…we replace those with single quotation marks.
Our double quotation marks (”) means we are borrowing the author’s words.
Single quotation marks (‘) are used to replace double ones in the text.
“ ‘I miss Oscar’ she replied” (Herriot 393).

58. Part four 9/20/17: I’m changing this…but it’s in progress…
Part One=basics of mla and works cited (w/My Furthest Back)
Part Two=same source multiple times and not using the beginning/brackets around the first letter if need to begin a sentence. (w/ Cat on the Go)
9/25/17
Part three= REVIEW AND MASTER!
ADD if there are quotation marks in the original text (w/ Ribbons and Two KInds)
Part four=ellipsis and brackets for taking off the end (w/ Boy and Man)
Part five=ellipsis and brackets for taking out the middle (w/ Lemon Brown)
Part six=changing the intent (w/ Two Kinds)
9/29/17
Part four=ellipsis and brackets for taking off the end (w/Red Kayak)
Part five=ellipsis and brackets for taking out the middle (w/ Red Kayak)
Part six= changing the intent (w/ Red Kayak)

59. The purpose of adding a citation is to prove, emphasize, or add authority to your own ideas.
The first part of that is choosing well.
Choose a citation that clearly proves whatever point you are making.
Sometimes you may not actually need an entire sentence or passage to make your point. MLA format allows us to focus on the section of the passage that meets our needs. (Sweet!) However, there are specific rules for this!

60. MLA format: review
If we want to drop the first part of a sentence, we just put the quotation marks in wherever we want to begin.
“since Oscar was such a friendly cat” (Herriot 392).
If the author has used quotation marks…say for a character’s words…we replace those with single quotation marks.
Our double quotation marks (”) means we are borrowing the author’s words.
Single quotation marks (‘) are used to replace double ones in the text.
“ ‘I miss Oscar’ she replied” (Herriot 393).
If we are starting a sentence, we may need to capitalize the first letter of the “chopped” sentence. If so, use brackets.
“[S]ince Oscar was such a friendly cat” (Herriot 392).

61. What punctuation do we use when we make changes to the author’s original text?
Brackets [ ]
TODAY WE WILL LEARN TWO MORE WAYS TO USE BRACKETS.

62. What if we only want to use part of the sentence
What if we only want to use part of the sentence? (DIFFERENT RULE THAN TAKING OUT THE BEGINNING!!!!)
Add an ellipsis to show that something has been removed from the original text. (There are two times when we use an ellipsis.)
An ellipsis is three dots…
If I leave something out in a citation, I add an ellipsis with brackets.
Like this:
“ ‘Then I wish I wasn’t your daughter […]’ I shouted” (Tan 23).

63. What if I want to take out some of the middle of the sentence
What if I want to take out some of the middle of the sentence? This is ONE way to use […].
Put the ellipsis inside the brackets to show something has been removed.
Original: I was sobbing by now, looking at her bitterly. Her chest was heaving even more and her mouth was open, smiling crazily as if she were pleased I was crying.
Citation: “I was sobbing […]and her mouth was open, smiling crazily as if she were pleased I was crying” (Tan 23).

64. What if I want to take off the end of a sentence
What if I want to take off the end of a sentence? This is the SECOND way to use […].
Put the ellipsis inside the brackets to show something has been removed.
Original: I was sobbing by now, looking at her bitterly. Her chest was heaving even more and her mouth was open, smiling crazily as if she were pleased I was crying.
Citation: “I was sobbing by now, looking at her bitterly. Her chest was heaving even more […]” (Tan 23).

65. NEVER USE A BRACKET WITH ELLIPSIS…
AT THE BEGINNING OF A QUOTED PASSAGE!!!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“[…] as if she were pleased I was crying” (20).

66. Yikes!!! Never change the meaning of the original text.
Original: She lifted me up from the piano bench. I was sobbing by now, looking at her bitterly. Her chest was heaving even more and her mouth was open, smiling crazily as if she were pleased I was crying.
“She lifted me up […] as if she were pleased […]” (Tan 23).
Remember, taking out too much text can not only reduce effectiveness, but can be considered plagiarism if the author’s intent is changed!
