  3. Every time you state a fact that is not common knowledge, you need a parenthetical citation to show your readers where the fact came from.

  4. Parenthetical Citations • Reference the author’s last name in parentheses. • (Smith) author given • If there is no author, reference the title of the book or article. • You may shorten lengthy titles. Use an ellipsis (…) to show that the entire title is not given. Be consistent in how you shorten a given title throughout the paper. • (“The Last Song”) no author given • (“The 50th Anniversary…”) no author given, title shortened

  5. Parenthetical Citations • Reference page numbers behind the author’s name in parentheses, but do not write down “p.” or any other abbreviation. • Many people believe that “all dogs go to heaven” (Smith 52).

  6. How do you punctuate this? • Periods: Periods go OUTSIDE the parenthesis, “at the end of the sentence” (Smith 32).

  12. Direct Quote • Use a direct quote when you find a passage that you want to use word for word in your paper. • Use quotation marks ( “ “) to show that these are someone else’s words.

  13. Direct Quote • Add some of your own words to “feather the nest” for the quote. • DO NOT let a direct quote stand alone in a sentence.

  14. 4 Ways to Use a Direct Quote • Colon • No punctuation • Quote starting the sentence • Quote ending the sentence

  15. 1. Colon (:) • Set up the quote and then present it as proof of what you have just said. • That is, say something about the quote and then present it like it’s a video or an object you’re putting on display. • It’s a grammatical way of saying, “Here, see for yourself,” or, “Ta-Da!”

  16. Colon example • John Glenn is idolized for being the first to realize feats that many never even undertake: “Very few, like Glenn, have accomplished such lofty heights” (“The 50th Anniversary…”). • - Note that the phrase before the quote could stand on its own as a sentence. • - Parenthetical citation is at the end of the sentence. • - Period comes after the parenthetical citation.

  17. 2. NO punctuation • You can mold the author’s words in as if they are your own. • In this case, you’ll probably be summarizing or paraphrasing the story and at some point decide that the writer’s words are better than yours.

  18. NO punctuation example • Even though he is 90 years old, John Glenn stays modern and plans to “take to Twitter and hold a ‘tweet-up’ on March 2” (“The 50th Anniversary…”). • Note that if I took away the quotation marks, the sentence would flow just like I had written it. That’s when you know you don’t need special punctuation.

  19. 3. & 4. Using commas with quotes • You can introduce the quote with an introductory phrase that leads into the author’s phrasing. • This phrase cannot stand on its own as a sentence. • It will feel like you are writing a piece of dialogue for a story.

  20. Using commas cont’d • You will use a comma after your introductory phrase or at the end of the quotation if it leads into another phrase within the sentence.

  21. 3. Quote starting the sentence • “There is still no cure for the common birthday,” was Glenn’s response when he was asked about his age (“The 50th Anniversary…”). • Notice the comma is inside of the quotation marks.

  22. 4. Quote ending the sentence • Author Tom Wolfe explains, “John Glenn is the last true national hero”(“The 50th Anniversary…”). • Notice the comma is outside of the quotation marks.

  23. 4 Ways to Use a Direct Quote • Colon The quote can stand alone. 2. No punctuation The quote reads like part of the sentence. • Quote starting the sentence The quote reads like dialogue in a story. • Quote ending the sentence The quote reads like dialogue in a story.

  27. Complete Direct Quotes packet.

  28. Paraphrase • A direct quote is different than a paraphrase. • A paraphrase is information retold in your own words. • A direct quote is information told in someone else’s words.

  29. Paraphrase • Keep the original meaning of the text. • Since you are using your own words, do not use quotation marks.

  30. Paraphrase • DO NOT replace key words with synonyms. Replacing key words is NOT paraphrasing – this is plagiarism. original text: The MHS Wildcats dominated the visiting team to end the season with an impressive record of 9-0. plagiarized: The Mulvane cats conquered the other team and ended up with a great record of 9-0 (Spears).

  31. Paraphrase • Do read the entire text first. Then restate the main ideas in your own words. original text: The MHS Wildcats dominated the visiting team to end the season with an impressive record of 9-0. paraphrased: It was a victorious end to the season when the MHS Wildcats won their last league game against the Greenbacks and wound up with a 9-0 record for the season (Spears).

  32. Parenthetical Citations • Paraphrases do need a parenthetical citation. • Follow the same rules as a direct quote.

  33. Parenthetical Citations(same for pharaphrase as direct quote) • Reference the author’s last name in parentheses. If there is no author, reference the title of the book or article. • You may shorten lengthy titles. Use an ellipsis (…) to show that the entire title is not given. Be consistent in how you shorten a given title throughout the paper. • (Smith) author given • (“The Last Song”) no author given • (“The 50th Anniversary…”) no author given, title shortened

  34. Paraphrase example • Original text: “I'm all for the general public ignoring "Birthday Cake" and Brown's much less interesting remix. Walk away from this relationship. Don't buy these songs. Turn off the television or radio when Rihanna and Chris Brown appear. Better yet, write your radio station and tell them not to play either of these remixes. Tell your daughters and sons that Brown is a brute and Rihanna is terribly misguided. If they push you, show them the sickening pictures of her bloodied face.” • Rihanna’s new single shouldn’t be acknowledged or even praised because of the message it sends to young adults(Powers).
