Please copy the following notes into the "Reading and Writing Strategies" section of your notebook

In-text citations: Author-page style

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text.  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.

For example:

1. Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263). 

2. Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).

3. Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263). *paraphrase*

Today we will:

1. Take notes on in-text citations

2. Log-in and take the quiz for Ch. 6-8--NO TALKING!!!! (I do have paper copies available)
