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

3 TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW: A REVIEW Source: a place from which info can be obtained Citation: giving credit to your source (formula)

4 TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW: A REVIEW Works cited: the page that lists all your citations Annotation: summary and evaluative ¶ on your source Annotated Bibliography: the annotation plus the citation

5 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 (three kinds) Quotation marks around the quote Citation (different kind) after the quote Period after the citation

6 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 explained to her, “And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…” (Meyer, 274).

7 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).

8 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).

9 INCORPORATING QUOTES You will now incorporate quotes into both your ATA and test writing pieces. You must use each of the three lead- ins at least once in each essay. You may note where you want each quote to go with a number (1, 2, 3, etc.) and write your complete quote on the back of your paper.

10 NOW YOU TRY: Find ONE important line from your article. In your research booklet, practice a different kind of lead-in for each quotation. Keep this sheet, and incorporate these into your annotation paragraphs tomorrow and Friday.

11 PRIMARY SOURCES Primary Source = a document or physical object which was written or created during the time under study. These sources were present during an experience or time period and offer an inside view of a particular event. Some types of primary sources include: ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS (excerpts or translations acceptable): Diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, news film footage, autobiographies, official records

12 SECONDARY SOURCE Secondary Source = interprets and analyzes primary sources. These sources are one or more steps removed from the event. Secondary sources may have pictures, quotes or graphics of primary sources in them. Some types of secondary sources include: PUBLICATIONS: Textbooks, magazine articles, histories, criticisms, commentaries, encyclopedias, a journal/magazine article which interprets or reviews previous findings, a history textbook, a book about the effects of WWI

13 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.
