What is it?

MLA citation, APA citation, citation period:

Why do it? Let’s find out! GUIDED NOTES.

MLA CITATIONMLA CITATION Why should we CITE sources in our texts?

1. Research based evidence! 2. Gets away from OPINION! 3. Plagiarism if you use it and don’t cite.

What’s the difference between a Bibliography (or Work’s Cited) page and IN-TEXT citation?

A _________________________ is at the end of your paper and tells ALL of the WORKS you’ve used in your paper.

An __________________________ is IN your paper and notes the SOURCE you used within your writing.

Types of IN TEXT CITATIONS

1. Direct Quote (AWE)

2. Paraphrase

PARAPHRASE A paraphrase is the:

ORIGINAL SOURCE BUT written IN YOUR OWN WORDS

It is tricky because you might have the tendency to copy things directly.

Let’s paraphrase the following sentence: “The heart has secrets that the world knows nothing of; oftentimes we call a man cold when he is merely sad.” (From Tennyson’s Greatest Works page 12)

DIRECT QUOTATION A direct quotation is:

AUTHOR’S WORDS EXACTLY. Many times students do not build

enough CONTEXT in order to support the use of AWE.

EXAMPLE: “Why do I write? Perhaps in order not to go mad” (Wiesel 65).

Practice! AWE with In-Text Practice! AWE with In-Text CitationCitation

1. “When you are in love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.”

From: Dr. Seuss page 8 of his book Love in the Seuss House

2. “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” From : Mother Teresa (no book)

3. “Being smart is better than being rich.” From: Loius Lee on page 79 of the book Smart Guys Finish First

5. “Falling in love is awfully simple, but falling out of love is simply awful.” Ron Howard from LOVE page 3.

In-Text Citations for Print Sources with Known Author

For Print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

In-Text Citations for Print Sources with No Known Author

When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name. Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (e.g. articles) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire websites) and provide a page number.

We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . ." ("Impact of Global Warming" 6).

“The very first thing I tell my new students on the first day of a workshop is that good writing is about telling the truth”(“Getting Started” 3).
