Summary Samples – imdb.com • In the distant future, a small waste collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind. • During a preview tour, a theme park suffers a major power breakdown that allows its cloned dinosaur exhibits to run amok. • A classic fairytale, with swordplay, giants, an evil prince, a beautiful princess, and yes, some kissing (as read by a kindly grandfather).

  8. Intro to Citation • Citations must be used for all direct quotes, summaries, and paraphrases… • …in MLA format! • For a summary: citation should be at the end of the summary paragraph. • For paraphrasing: citation should be at the end of the sentence. • For a direct quote: citation should be at the end of the sentence, not the quote. *Remember each quote must be cited.

  9. Citation cont. • Citation comes in two parts: • 1) The in-text citation. • 2) The works cited. • These must match! • Make sure to include citations in your BA2! • For help citing: check the St. Martin’s eHandbook and the Purdue OWL.
