Presentation Transcript

Slide1

Incorporating Block QuotationsSlide2

Should be used to present uniquely expressed ideas which are lengthy.

Should be used only to make or reinforce your point.

Need to be incorporated into the flow of your paragraph and be embedded in your text.

Using Block QuotationsSlide3

Should be used when you have 4 or more lines of quoted text.

Need to be introduced with a signal phrase or other introductory material.

The quoted material should be 2 TABs or 10 spaces from the L-hand margin.The TABs are the punctuation—you don’t need to surround the quote by quotation marks.The text needs to be followed by a comment or other text which explains how what is said in the block quote supports your paragraph’s point.

Format in MLASlide4

Similar to MLA, except you only indent 5 spaces for the block quote.

The APA margin lines up with a regular “tab” to start

a paragraph.Format in APASlide5

Ellipses . . . show that you have left text out.
