This is what Mrs.Lawson wanted me to learn today:
- Only use quote when it adds power and style to my writing
- Always make it clear, from context, that i understand the full meaning of the quote
- Whether i quote or paraphrase, always be transparent about the source and how im using it
- If i usse another author's exact words or phrases, to any extent, i have to use quotation marks and give credit
- If i use another author's presentation of facts or ideas, but put their ideas in my own words, i better have a good reason for doing that, and i MUST give credit
- Hyperlinking is so easy, there is no excuse for not being transparent about my sources
I feel like i have the hang of paraphrasing but i would like some extra help with it because it still gets confusing at some parts when it comes to difficult quotes
