ADVANCED: Citing Sources

A few people were asking me about how to include a source in their writing.  If you take anything from the internet, you MUST give credit to the original author.  You have a few ways that you can do this.

You can write the information in YOUR OWN words and then give the source at the bottom of the page like this...Source: "The Name of the Article."  www.thenameofthewebsite.com

Or, you can use information directly from the article.  Then, you must put it in quotation marks:
Mark Twain wrote that, "give the quote here and use quotation marks on each side of it," (name of book or article).

This is advanced, and it is NOT a requirement for ESOL 20, but if you are interested you can begin practicing now.  You may use this in ESOL 40, and you will DEFINITELY use this in English 49.  :)
