“3.10 Practicing Quoting.”

Key:
  1. Use appropriate signal phrases to mark the boundaries between your words and the sources’ words (Red)
  2. Establish the authority of the people/sources being quoted (Blue)
  3. Put the source material into effective context (Green)
  4. And EITHER use the ellipsis mark to eliminate unnecessary words from the quote in order and/or force it to conform to your sentence’s grammatical structure OR use the brackets to insert your own words into the quote in order to clarify something and/or force it to conform to your sentence’s grammatical structure  (Orange)
