Altering Quoted Material
Use ellipses (…) if you’re removing the MIDDLE of a sentence
or quote.
“As baby boomers retire…they leave a working-age population
that is on average younger and that tends to use less healthcare”
(Tavernise).
Use brackets to change a word.
Example:
“Books used in class are useful for learning grammar.”
Booked used in [my classes] are useful for learning grammar.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/lesson103-121104200802-phpapp02/85/Lesson-10-3-9-320.jpg)
Lesson 10 3
- 1. + Supporting Your Claims, Introducing Sources, and Documenting Sources October 3, 2012
- 2. + Quoting a source Using the author’s direct words Put quotation marks in front of first word and after last word of direct quotes Atthe end of the sentence, put the author’s name and page number in parentheses. This is an in-text citation. Example: The study found that “Americans of working age are going to the doctor less frequently than they were 10 years ago” (Tavernise 1).
- 3. + What about internet sources? With internet sources, you might not have an author. In this case, use the next best thing—article title. We see so many global warming hotspots in North America because this region has “more readily accessible climactic data and more comprehensive programs” (“Impact of Global Warming” 6). You might also not have a page number for an internet source. In that case, just leave off the page number and use the author’s name or article title. Do not include URLS in your text. If you need to indicate the name of a site, use a partial URL (CNN.com) as opposed to http://www.cnn.com
- 4. + Works Cited You also need a works cited page (In MLA format, this will be a separate page at the end of your essay. Use the Purdue OWL MLA page for help Here is a sample for a book; let’s discuss why it’s cited this way: Collins, Harry. Basics of Welding. New York: Anchor Books, 2005. Print. (2nd lines should always be indented. Powerpoint just isn’t letting me)
- 5. + Works Cited: internet Sources Let’s discuss this example: Tavernise, Sabrina. “Doctor Visits Dropping, New Census Figures Show.” New York Times Online, 1 Oct. 2012. Web. 3 Oct. 2012. Purdue OWL: Electronic Sources
- 6. + Introducing Sources Three steps: Introduce the author (“According to…” “X has written”) Provide the source (“According to X in his article X”) Cite the source (in-text citation)
- 7. + The rules Introducing & Providing Sources Use active, attributive verbs (see pg. 87 for examples) The quotation should flow with the rest of the sentence as if the quotations marks were not there! Examples: According to David Solomon in his New York Times article, “Fowl Play on Chicken Farms,” chickens are “fed too much so they provide extra meat for consumers” (2). David Solomon has affirmed that chickens are “fed too much so they provide extra meat for consumers” (2). Chickens are “fed too much so they provide extra meat for consumers,” but they do taste better than skinny chickens (Solomon 2).
- 8. + Paraphrasing You can also paraphrase a source No direct quotes Summarize the author’s main point in your own words Use same rules for in-text citations
- 9. + Altering Quoted Material Use ellipses (…) if you’re removing the MIDDLE of a sentence or quote. “As baby boomers retire…they leave a working-age population that is on average younger and that tends to use less healthcare” (Tavernise). Use brackets to change a word. Example: “Books used in class are useful for learning grammar.” Booked used in [my classes] are useful for learning grammar.”
