  2. Citing Sources  What to do and how to do it.

  3. What we’re learning today… • When to quote • When to paraphrase • How to incorporate sources • How to do in-text citations

  4. “Why should I care?” • Citing increases your: • Research quality • Reasoning • Reputation

  5. Quote or paraphrase? • A quote is something you take directly from the text • “An apt quotation is like a lamp which flings its light over the whole sentence.”(Letitia Elizabeth Landon) • Paraphrasing means putting it into your own words • How would you explain what you read to someone else?

  6. When to quote! • When: • You “can’t say it any better” • The wording is perfect for what you need

  7. When to paraphrase! • When: • You need it to be shorter • You can “say it better” • Quoting is not necessary

  8. Incorporating Sources • Three steps: • Begin with author’s full name, who they are, and title of work • Use the borrowed info • End with in-text citation (page #, etc.)

  9. Bad Example Which information is borrowed??

  13. In-Text Citations • Books and Articles: give the page number • (57) instead of (Stemmler 57) • Websites: give the first few words of the web page title • (Facts About Cooking) • Put the period after the citation • According to Stemmler, 30% of students fail each year (65).

  15. Example #2 • Web page name: Facts About High Schoolers at Northwestern High School • Author: Ms. Moore, intern at Northwestern • Borrowed info: “High school students really like to text and sleep in class.”
