  1. In-text Citations How to cite sources properly & effectively

  2. Cite (v.)- • To write or say the words of a book, author, etc. • To mention something, especially as an example, or to support an idea or opinion • To quote by way of example, authority, or proof • To refer to • To bring forward or call to another’s attention, especially as an example or proof

  3. For example… • “The article cites several experts on the subject.” • “He cited evidence suggesting that the woman was nearby when the crime was committed.” • “Mr. Abatemarco asked us to cite specific examples from the text.” • “Miss Gurkovich provided us with a ‘teacher model,’ within which she cited both A Letter to God as well as the letter that Meredith wrote.”

  4. What is an in-text citation? • An in-text citation gives the reader enough information within the essay to know where they can find the rest of the work (e.g. article, book, short story, etc.)

  5. When should I use can in-text citation? • Whenever you take a direct quote from a piece of writing • Whenever you paraphrase a specific passage within a piece of writing • Whenever you provide a summary of a text using detailed and specific evidence from the text

  6. How do I properly cite? • You must use parenthetical citation! • This means… • You must provide a page number. • In some cases (e.g. a letter, website, etc.), there are no page numbers given. • You may need to provide an author’s name.

  7. TEACHER MODEL • Follow along as the teacher reads and, furthermore, explains it! • It is important to note that… • The text in bold is the quote or [part of a] passage taken from one of the pieces of writing. • The italicized text is the explanation as to how that specific quote or part supports the writer’s point.

  8. DO NOW: • Read the you-solve-it mystery AGAIN… this time independently. • Decide who you think committed the crime. • Start writing, answering the following: • Who stole the item? • Why do you think this? • What specific text evidence is there that supports your decision?
