More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text, must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry in the Works Cited List. (Last name of the author) For example: A concerned parent states, "there are very few libraries today in which I would leave my 13 year-old son unescorted" (Baldwin). Baldwin is the first thing that appears for its citation. Examples: Signal Word Works Cited Bildner, Phil. "Texas: If You Can't Ban Books, Ban Authors." Time. Time Inc., 29 Sept. 2010.

For Print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. Ron Weasley exclaimed, "'Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret'" (Rowling 156). This is not new, you should be using this format for your independent reading projects. Ray Bradbury responded to the individuals who suggested he censor sections of Coda "by firing the whole lot. By sending rejection slips to each and every one" (168). Ray Bradbury responded to the individuals who suggested he censor sections of Coda "by firing the whole lot. By sending rejection slips to each and every one" (168). Because you mentioned Ray Bradbury in the sentence, you do not have to restate the name in the parenthetical citation. It is unnecessary. ALSO- Note the punctuation! Ron Weasley exclaimed, "'Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret'" (Rowling 156). Period should be at the end of the parenthesis! Not at the end on the sentence. End quote.
Citing Non Print Or Sources From The Internet (This will be the majority of your citations for your performance task.) When creating in-text citations for electronic, film, or Internet sources, remember that your citation must reference the source in your Works Cited (just like the previous examples given). The author's name or article may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but there are NO page number(s) required. For electronic and Internet sources, follow the following guidelines: - Include in the text the first item that appears in the Work Cited entry that corresponds to the citation (e.g. author name, article name, website name, film name). (Translation: Signal word/phrase) - You do not need to give paragraph numbers or page numbers based on your Web browser s print preview function. - Unless you must list the Web site name in the signal phrase in order to get the reader to the appropriate entry, do not include URLs in-text. Only provide partial URLs such as when the name of the site includes, for example, a domain name, like CNN.com as opposed to writing out http:// www.cnn.com Examples: I do not have to create a parenthetical citation because the signal phrase is reference prior to the quote. In the article What Do Harry Potter, Captain Underpants, and Huck Finn Have in Common? Explains that, "a challenge, according to the ALA, constitutes a written complaint, filed with a library or school, requesting that a book be removed because of content or appropriateness.

Yes, you would have to write the entire name of the signal phrase.
More Examples: I do not have to create a parenthetical citation because the signal word (author) is reference prior to the quote. Bilder states that, "in Germany, where Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press, the first official censorship office was established within decades of the innovation." If The Author Was not Referenced: In Creekwood Middle School, "this school year's teen literature festival has been canceled because of a string of events that followed the banning last month of the best-selling youngadult author Ellen Hopkins" (Bilder). Signal word (author). Page number is not needed for internet sources. Ellipses: Three periods that tell the reader that part of the quote has been taken out. In Creekwood Middle School, "this school year's teen literature festival has been canceled because of a string of events that followed the banning last month of the best-selling young-adult author Ellen Hopkins" (Bilder). In Creekwood Middle School, "this school year's teen literature festival has been canceled... followed [by] the banning last month of the best-selling young-adult author Ellen Hopkins" (Bilder). Why did I use a bracket?
Paraphrasing is putting someone else's idea in your own words. This is acceptable when you include the title in the essay AND when you cite the source on the Works Cited page. A direct quote is when you take an EXACT quote, give credit to the source, include page numbers and cite it on the Works Cited page. The direct quote is in quotation marks. Here is the quote that could be helpful in the essay I'm writing: " To Americans and other Westerners, it might seem odd that Internet censorship is still possible at a time when YouTube, satellite TV and online chat rooms produce an overwhelming flow of real-time news and data. Yet authoritarian regimes from Cuba to Saudi Arabia to Pakistan rely on a mix of sophisticated technology and old-fashioned intimidation to ensure that dissent can be repressed, even in the Information Age" (Wiseman). Paraphrase it for me.
How can we paraphrase this quote? " To Americans and other Westerners, it might seem odd that Internet censorship is still possible at a time when YouTube, satellite TV and online chat rooms produce an overwhelming flow of real-time news and data. Yet authoritarian regimes from Cuba to Saudi Arabia to Pakistan rely on a mix of sophisticated technology and old-fashioned intimidation to ensure that dissent can be repressed, even in the Information Age" (Wiseman). Paraphrased: Though American society has access to a plethora of information via various worldwide media outlets, other countries, like China, has access to information distributed solely by country run media outlets. As a result, limiting their ability to obtain information from the outside world(wiseman). What must you include in your Works Cited page? Direct Quote: One effect of censorship can be the restriction of freedom of speech. For example in "Coda," Bradbury tells the reader, "The real world is the playing ground for each and every group, to make or unmake laws. But the tip of the nose of my book or stories or poems is where their rights end and my territorial imperatives begin, run and rule"(170). Bradbury's argument when faced with requests to censor his work is that he can not control the outside world where people can openly disagree and challenge one another. This being understood, the outside world should not try to control or challenge his creative freedom. Statement Proof Analysis
