In-text citations

SHORT QUOTATIONS

If you are directly quoting from a work (for instance a book or long essay), you will need to include the author, year of publication, and page number for the reference (preceded by "p."). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.

According to Jones (1998), "Shakespeare wrote comedies like no other." (p. 199).

Jones (1998) found "Shakespeare wrote comedies like no other." (p. 199); what does this say about his famous tragedies?

Continued 

If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number between brackets after the quotation.

She stated, "Shakespeare wrote comedies like no other" (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.

Quoting from a website

If you are quoting from a source for which it's unknown by whom or when it was written, you can always cite the website you found the information on. If you, for instance, would like to quote something from the website Sparknotes, do the following:

According to Sparknotes, "Jane Austen was way ahead of her time when writing about women's rights."

Therefor, it's of the utmost importance that you include your sources in your documentatiemap so that you can reference this information when writing your essay. If it helps you, you can compile a list of quotes from your book beforehand with the page numbers included. 

Go to classroom

Write a 2 paragraph essay on the following:

Should smoking be made illegal?

Make sure you look for sources to quote and using the tips from today, quote from your sources to support your argument.

Using the peer review form

Give your neighbour feedback on their second essay.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
