You will go into each of your five sources and look up
two sentences from each source, for a total of ten sentences. Those sentences you look up or extract are
often called notes. You will use quotes
– you yourself will add quote marks — for each sentence or note. You must use citations and you must use
correct spacing. Correct period
placement is crucial.
You will repeat your entire Works Cited page, but space it out so that
you can fit sentences between the sources, and you will use quote marks on
those sentences.
Example:
This is a sentence from a source: The cheetah hunts at night.
This is a quote, when you quote it (and note the period has been removed): “The cheetah hunts at night”
The following parentheses is a citation: ( )
Final answer: “The cheetah hunts at night” (1).
The number 1 is the page number that the sentence appears on in the source.
For this assignment, as you will see, you need only list the page number in the citation.
Penalties:
Period placement mistake: -12 points for each
No quote marks on sentence: sentence is incorrect (no credit, or -10 for each)
No citation: – 10 points for each
No citations in entire document: automatic F/0
For this “notes” assignment only the page number goes in the citation. Putting anything besides the page number: – 7 points for each.
Be sure of spacing, and be sure the period goes AFTER the citation. A period still ends the sentence even when you use a citation (1).
“The cheetah hunts at night” (1).
