  3. Examples of when to use quotes • Poems “ Prometheus” by Lord Byron • Songs “The Star Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key • Magazine Articles “Learning from Lincoln’s Wisdom” by William Kristol • Short Stories “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner • Episodes in a TV series: “The Trouble with Tribbles” in Star Trek • Chapters within a book: “The Boy Who Lived” in Harry Potter

  4. Examples of when to use italics • Novels: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling • Magazines: Time Magazine • Television Series: Star Trek • Movies: Shrek • Ships: The Monitor

  5. Other • NEVER ON YOUR OWN TITLE • Never use bold • Only underline in handwritten essays (instead of italics) • Capitalize all major words in titles (everything but a, an, the, and, of, to) • In writing, always refer to the author by LAST NAME. First name is too casual, and you do not know him/her personally. • Correct: Bradbury’s style is very descriptive and he uses many metaphors and similes to develop his imagery. • Incorrect:Ray’s (or Mr. Bradbury’s) style is very descriptive and he uses many metaphors and similes to develop his imagery.

  6. Review • In other words, remember parts of a whole. The parts are in quotes and the whole is in italics. “Parts” of a whole

  7. Quick Quiz • Yesterday, I watched the first episode of New Girl. • Have you read The Hunger Games Series? Catching Fire is my favorite. • For homework, we were assigned an article on the influence of technology called A Siri-us Disconnection. It was published in Readers Digest. • Have you heard Taylor Swift’s song Begin Again? It’s from her album Red. • I’m very excited to see the movie adaptation of Divergent.
