TEXT BOOK ATTACHED
For this week's Discussion Forum, we are looking at Chapters 18 and 19 from our course textbook.
Now that you have examined this chapter, you should now see that there are some very important things that we must do WHENEVER WE INCORPORATE THE WORDS, THOUGHTS, and IDEAS OF OTHERS INTO OUR OWN PARAGRAPHS.
For example, whenever we use words or ideas from someone else's writing, we begin with a SIGNAL PHRASE, such as Jonathan Garrett states, OR Stephen King finds, OR Muhammed Ali wrote, OR Barak Obama believes, DO YOU SEE?
We then follow this signal phrase with the actual quote, which is surrounded by quotation marks.
Finally, we conclude the citation by listing the page numbers of the article where we gleaned the other writer's words enclosed within parentheses.
For simplicity, we refer to this method / pattern of giving proper credit to our sources as the S.Q.P. Format.
