pirates, he witnessed the torture of a man from
the Chinese navy, who “was nailed to the deck
through his feet with large nails, ‘then beaten
with four rattans twisted together, till he
vomited blood.’”

Piece of Information(Partial Quotation)
Author’s LastName
Page Number
Ways to Record Information Direct Quotation
Partial Quotation◦ Some your words,
some theirs.
Précis◦ Brief summary◦ Much shorter than
original◦ ALL your own words
Paraphrase◦ Be careful!◦ Each and every word
must be your own. If having trouble with a
part of it, make it a partial quotation.
Outline◦ Good for lists
Remember!
• Anytime you use an author’s exact words (even if it is a phrase or a key word), it must be in quotation marks and cited.
• Anytime you use an author’s ideas, but your own words, you do not use quotation marks, but you still cite it.
A Side Note on Plagiarism
Plagiarism: presenting someone’s words or ideas as your own.
Three Ways to Avoid Plagiarism:1. Do NOT use exact words from a source without
putting them inside quotation marks.2. Do NOT reword a passage without crediting the
source.3. Do NOT summarize a passage without crediting the
source.
