Different types of in-texts citations

You have to cite information in the text differently depending on how you use it, what type of resource it is, and how much information you have. Below are the three main examples of in-text citations. Direct Quotation: Quoted material (Authors last name Page number). Paraphrase: Paraphrased sentence / passage (Authors last name Page number). Quote from a web source/any source with no author Quoted material (Title of Article Page number). HINT: Another thing to keep in mind is that if the sentence states who the author is, then you just put the page number at the end. It would be repetitive to add the authors name again.

Use the information above to add correct in-text citations into the examples below. Questions: 1.) "He spoke to us in German and then left us behind" ( --from Donaldson's Bantering on Watergate, page 45 ).

2.) "I never thought of myself as proud", says Jennings in his book Pushing the Limits of Political Journalism ( --This source was located on page 107.

).

3.) "Politics is such an interesting field" ( --From Charles Smith's book, page 451.

).

4.) "Enraged is how he felt after the episode" ( --From Jason Xavier's book Somewhere in the Political Realm, page 233.

).

5.) In Political Guide to the United States, Xavier and Yater explore the idea that the U.S. is changing politically ( --From page 544 of this book.
