Practicing Incorporating a Quotation

James Webster and I found this to be the most straight forward and important quotes from the Reel American History article.

Watching Glory was a good thing to watch in class because it was not only beneficial, but historically accurate according to McPherson, who said. "Glory is not only the first feature film to treat the role of black soldiers in the American Civil War, [but] also the most powerful and historically accurate movie about that war ever made." 

 This is what Mrs. Lawson wanted me to learn today:

-Only use quote when it adds power and style to my writing.
-Always make it clear, from context, that i understand the full meaning of the quote.
-Whether I quote of paraphrase, always be transparent about the source and how I'm using it.
-If I use another author's exact words or phrases, to any extent, I have to use quotation marks to give credit.
-If I use another author's presentation of facts or ideas, but put their ideas in my own words, I better have a good reason for doing that and MUST give credit.
-Hyperlinking is so easy, there is no excuse for not being transparent about my sources.


I UNDERSTAND THIS!
