4. In your notes When do you quote? When do you paraphrase?

5. When to do what • Quote: • When you want to emphasize a point about the wording that the author chose to use. • When you can’t say something better than the author did. • Paraphrase: • When the exact wording isn’t important. You can usually summarize here as well.

6. Quotes cannot stand alone • You can’t have a sentence that just consists of a quote. You need to introduce the quote in some way, usually with a signal phrase, and then cite. • Mr. Durbin says, “This is how to do it” (Durbin 5). • Section 13b in your handbook has a good list of signal phrases. • Note the punctuation here. • You can also use quotes as part of your sentence, where your content matches that of the quote • Mr. Durbin “likes these kinds of quotes,” but not when people “quote” every “other” word (Durbin 5). • Note the punctuation here as well

When you will explain them, you will not discuss what they mean, but what they do. • Use these sparingly. These convey content from the source text, like what the author’s argument is, or one of their details. • Remember that this information is not that important in your analysis.
