  1. In-text citations Notes

  2. What’s text support? • Text support is facts you use to prove your thesis. The text support for WODs come from the WOD packet the teacher gives you. You need to quote these articles in your body paragraphs! And…whenever you quote something, you also need in text citations.

  3. What’s a quote? • Quote definition: using another author’s exact words. • When you quote, you will place the “exact words from the author” you are using in quotation marks.Then you need to use an in-text citation to cite it!

  4. What’s an in text citation? • In-text citations definition: Placing source information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase from the text.

  5. The in-text citation is always… • In parentheses and at the end of a sentence. • The author’s name goes inside of the parentheses • The period goes on the outside of parentheses. There is NEVER a period inside the parentheses.
