Works Cited, Parenthetical Documentation, and

Integrating Quotations

By the end of the class period, you will know how to create and properly format a works cited page, as well as provide in-text citations for your sources.

You will create a reference for your works cited page following the steps that I demonstrate and you will show me that you can properly create and insert an in-text citation.

****IMPORTANT****

Note the following: 1.) Double-spacing (easily done by highlighting desired text and hitting Ctrl+2 on your keyboard)

2.) Indentation of all lines after the first line of the entry. (Sometimes you will need to hit “Enter” twice to pull the line away from the first line before indenting.)

Parenthetical documentation (or citation)-referring to the works of others in your text

Immediately following a quotation from a

source or a paraphrase of a source's ideas, you place the author's name followed by a space and the relevant page number(s).

EXAMPLE: Human beings have been described

as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3).

Note that quotation marks (if used) do not go around the citation and the period goes after the citation.

YOUR SOURCE DOESN’T HAVE AN 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, or italicize or underline it if it's a longer work.

The answer is no. However, you will usually need one.

You do not need to give sources for familiar statements, well-known quotations or common knowledge.

Thoreau ends his essay with a metaphor: "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in" (66).

According to Thoreau, "We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us" (67).

Thoreau argues that "shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous" (68).

Thoreau argues that people blindly accept "shams and delusions" as the "soundest truths," while regarding reality as "fabulous" (69).

*A quote cannot stand alone as its own sentence. It MUST have some of your own words in it to introduce it.
