  20. In-text Citations • Three types of in-text citations: • Direct quote • Paraphrase • Summary

  21. Direct Quote • A direct quote is a word for word retelling of a particular statement • Quotation marks are used to indicate a direct quote • Example: “Only 6% of Americans donate blood.” (“Why Donate”) • Notice, the in-text citation matches what is on my Works Cited page. • If I reference the article title in my sentence, then I do not need to place a citation at the end of the sentence. • Example: According to the article “Why Donate Blood,” only “6% of Americans donate blood.”

  22. Direct Quote (con’t.) • If the statement I am quoting has a page number, make sure you indicate that! For instance, if I found information in a book or journal, I would place that information in my citation. • Example: “Love and courtship were drastically different in the 1900s” (Langhamer 173).

  23. Paraphrase • A paraphrase is written in your own words. • Essentially, you are taking a component of your article and writing it in your own words, but the main idea comes from your source. • This will NOT be in quotations.

  24. Summary • A summary looks at an article or source as a whole and sums the whole article in a much shorter version than the original • This is also in your own words
