outside of you.

Page 30: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

What does not need to be credited or documented?

5. When you are using generally-accepted facts, e.g., pollution is bad for the environment, including facts that are accepted within particular discourse communities, e.g., in the field of composition studies, "writing is a process" is a generally-accepted fact.

Page 31: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Every direct quotation, summary, and paraphrase needs to be documented with

an in-text note (264).

Every essay needs a Works Cited page at the end (281).

Now that we know which sources to document, how do we document

them?

Writing Direct Quotations

Let’s look at page 264 in our text get a general idea about how to use direct quotations.

Page 34: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Direct Quotations

1. Keep the source author's name in the same sentence as the quote

Page 35: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Direct Quotations

2. Mark the quote with quotation marks, or set it off from your text in its own block, per the style guide your paper follows

Page 36: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Direct Quotations

3. Quote no more material than is necessary; if a short phrase from a source will suffice, don't quote an entire paragraph

Page 37: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Direct Quotations

4. To shorten quotes by removing extra information, use ellipsis points (...) to indicate omitted text

Page 38: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Direct Quotations

5. To give context to a quote or otherwise add wording to it, place added words in brackets, []; be careful not to make any additions that skew the original meaning of the quote

Page 39: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Direct Quotations

6. Use quotes that will have the most rhetorical, argumentative impact in your paper; too many direct quotes from sources may weaken your credibility, as though you have nothing to say yourself

Page 40: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Remember, only about 10% or less of your paper should be direct quotes.

Page 41: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Paraphrases or Summaries

1. Use a statement that credits the source somewhere in the paraphrase or summary, e.g., According to Jonathan Kozol, ....

Page 42: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Paraphrases or Summaries

2. If you're having trouble summarizing, try writing your paraphrase or summary of a text without looking at the original, relying only on your memory and notes

Page 43: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Paraphrases or Summaries

3. Check your paraphrase or summary against the original text; correct any errors in content accuracy, and be sure to use quotation marks to set off any exact phrases from the original text

Page 44: Lesson 11: Avoiding Plagiarism

Writing Paraphrases or Summaries

4. Put quotation marks around any unique words or phrases that you cannot or do not want to change

Example: “Savage inequalities" exist throughout our

educational system (Kozol).
