Citing Evidence
2
Direct Quotes
When we cite evidence directly from a text,
We place it inside quotation marks " " and copy it word for word.
Because we didn't write it, we give the author credit by adding their name to the end in parenthesis ( ) and we make a note about which page number the quote can be found on.

Paraphrasing Evidence
If we don't want to use a direct quote, we can paraphrase, or summarize the evidence.
When you paraphrase, you write a summary. Because you are summarizing someone else's work, you add their name to the end in parenthesis ( ).
