of the following three ways:
–
Comma + Coordinating Conjunction (FANBOYS)
•
–
–
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
Semicolon
Semicolon + Conjunctive Adverb

simple sentence containing a compound subject,
compound verb, or compound predicate.

Notes: Introducing Quoted Evidence
 Tag Lines: Begin a quotation from the text with an
introductory or transitional phrase.
According to Shakespeare, “….
 Mrs. Flowers says, “….
 Later in the poem, the speaker claims “….
 Initially, the author shows “….
 Another example is when “….
 Or just incorporate the quotation into the sentence.

The townspeople admired Richard Cory because “he was rich—yes,
richer than a king” (Robinson 9).
 Romeo loves Juliet because she is “a winged messenger of heaven”
(Shakespeare 2.2.30).

Notes: Quoting Evidence (Punctuation)
 Quotation Marks: When you rewrite what the author
wrote word-for-word, all of that textual evidence must go
in quotation marks.


Example: In “Incident in a Rose Garden,” Death tells the master, “I
only meant to ask him/To show me to his master” (Justice
47-48).
Example: Marguerite comments that Mrs. Flowers had remained
throughout her life “the measure of what a human being can
be” (Angelou 1).
 Periods:


If the quotation ends with a period, move the period outside of
the quotations AND put it AFTER the citation.
If the quotation ends with a question mark or exclamation point,
then put it in the quotation marks. In addition, put a period
after the citation in parentheses.
Notes: Citing Evidence
 All citations go in parentheses after the quotation
but before the period.
 Citation for a Poem:


(author’s last name line number)
(Robinson 13)
 Citation for a Story:
 (author’s last name page number)
 (Angelou 1)
 Citation for a Shakespeare Play:
 (author’s last name act#.scene#.line#’s)
 (Shakespeare 2.2.46-48)
