  7. What are In-Text Citations??? • You will need these anywhere you include information from your research (body paragraphs) • In-text citations are a way of giving credit to the author of the work you used. • Always comes at the end of a quote or a paraphrase. • You MUST give credit to your sources. If you don’t, that is plagiarism!!!

  8. What does it look like? • A perfect example of Beatrice’s logic is presented in act II, scene I, when she says, “He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man; and he that is more than a youth is not for me; and he that is less than a man, I am not for him,” (Shakespeare 19).

  9. Rules! Rules! Rules! • You only use the author’s last name and the page number. (Shakespeare 19) • You don’t write pg. 19 or Shakespeare, 19. There should be no punctuation inside the parentheses. • The in-text citation should come directly AFTER the quote or paraphrase you are citing.

  10. Good or Bad… • “Music is a language that has existed for many centuries.” (Ryland, 24.). • All Bella wants is to become a vampire and spend eternity with Edward. (Meyers 268) • “Cheese is the best food in the world!” (page 75) • “To be or not to be. That is the question.”
