Formatting
Citations are placed between the quotation mark and the period: [end of
sentence (citation).]
If the quotation ends in a question mark or exclamation point, include it in
addition to the period after the citation: or is this an ugly
reality? (Morris).
The quotation and any additional phrases of your own before or after
should form a complete, grammatically correct and punctuated sentence.
Note changes to capitalization in brackets: phones > [P]hones
Quotations that span more than three lines are block quoted (see below).
Citations
In most cases, begin a quotation, paraphrase or summary with an
attributive phrase that identifies the source (e.g., According to)
If you identify the source in a lead phrase, cite the source in parentheses
at the end of the sentence or section where you use the source.
Citations always contain (1) identification of the source and (2) page
number, if available.
Citations always identify the source by the first item in the corresponding
Works Cited reference.
Do not put author names in quotations, italics, or other font styles:
[Quotation. (Author).]
Put article titles or titles of smaller works (like songs) in quotation marks.
Put book titles or titles of longer works in italics. [Quotation. (Title).]
If identifying with title, use a shortened title (the first word or phrase).
In citations, if there are two or three authors for a source, list each authors
last name: (Monk, Taylor, and Lawrence).
Block Quotes
Block quotes are indented an additional inch from the left edge (2 total).
No quotation marks.
The citation goes outside of the final period or punctuation mark.
No extra spacing before or after block quote (one double-spaced line).
Embedded Quotes
If there are quotations marks in the text you are quoting, change them to
single quotation marks. Put double quotation marks around the quoted
text.
Topic Sentences
Specific: Use proper nouns, directly identifying the person, image, or idea
to being discussed in the paragraph (e.g., Mona Lisa, Banksy, etc.) rather
than generic nouns (the painting by Da Vinci, this street artist, etc.).
Concision: Omit needless words. Shorten wordy phrases. Short and
snappy is best.
Point Down to the paragraph: What is the paragraphs point? State it.
Point Up to the thesis: Why is this paragraph an important part of your
essay? Show it.
Positive Form: Put statements in positive form. Avoid no and not.
For paragraphs that mark the start of a new image, make the topic
sentence a one-sentence interpretive preview of the images meaning:
Banksys repurposing, Show Me the Monet, promotes activism and
uprising among the lower and middle classes.
