How to BUILD A PARAGRAPH:
Topic Statement-- generally and simply introduces the topic. Example: Interviews are effectively incorporated into the film to relay personal examples and expert opinions to the audience.
Then, provide AT LEAST 3 examples for your claim. Make sure your examples include details from the film, QUOTES from your sources, and explanation/clarity of your connection between the topic and the proof.
Be sure that your quotes are properly worked in and are INTRODUCED and/or BLENDED-- NO HANGING QUOTES. Cite your quotes properly-- author's last name and page or paragraph # (usually).
Wrap-up with a summary statement and transition to the next topic.

In-text Citation--What is in-text citation?
Books (Author’s Last Name and page number) Example:
“The use of water in the UAE has increased 15 percent since 1990” (Jones 34).Use the title if there is no obvious author. (Title page number)
Example:
“Sharjah is promoted as the capital of the Arabian Gulf” (Emirates Guide 3).If your Works Cited list entry starts with the article title, use the article title . (“Article Title” page number)
Example:
Results of a recent survey suggest that more tourists prefer eco-tourism adventures (“Tourism Study Results” 7).
If you include the author’s name in your sentence, use only the page number in the parenthesis:
Example:
Jones notes that the page number follows the sentence (54).
For a website with no author, use the webpage (or website) title for your in-text citation. If it is a long title, you can shorten it to the first three words.
Example:
According to their website, a breeding centre for endangered Arabian animals started functioning in February 1998 ("Sharjah Natural History").
Two Types of In-Text Citation
1. QUOTATION:
When you use a quotation, “enclose the author’s last name and the relevant page number(s) within parentheses” (Smith, Jones, and Parks 781).
Example Two (to avoid plagarism):
Smith, Jones, and Parks note that “you can shorten a parenthetical note by naming the author of the source in the body of the essay; then the parenthetical note consists of a page number only” (782).
2. PARAPHRASE: USE LESS FREQUENTLY
“To avoid plagiarizing an author’s language... close the book, write from memory, and then open the book to check for accuracy” (Hacker 361).
Paraphrasing Example:
This is one method for avoiding plagiarism. Experts suggest a reflective approach by reading the original source, then writing down your understanding of the idea. Afterward the original source should be compared with your paraphrase to make sure it’s correct (Hacker 361).
Special In-Text Citation
ExamplesTwo different works by the same author
Guideline:
Put the title after the author’s name in the in-text citations. Separate the citations with a semi-colon.Example:
(Smith, MLA Style, 54; Smith, Understanding MLA, 78).
No author and very long article title
Guideline:
If the title in the reference source is very long, shorten the title to the first few words. Make sure that you include enough information for the reader to find the full publication details in your bibliography.
Example:
Shorten ("Sharjah Natural History Museum and Desert Park") to ("Sharjah Natural History")Website page numbersGuideline:
When citing a website, page numbers are not necessary. In special cases, you can give the number of the paragraph on the webpage.
Example:
”Numbering the paragraph helps the reader locate it within the webpage” (Smith, par. 6).
- A link in the body of your assignment to your bibliography.
- Offers enough information so that the reader can find the complete information in the bibliography.
- Written next to the information that has been taken from another source.
- May be written within a sentence or at the end of a sentence.
- Whenever you use information from another source in your report.
- To lead your reader to the correct entry in your Bibliography.
- To avoid plagiarizing.

Two Types of In-Text Citation
1. QUOTATION:
- When you use some else’s exact words.
- Always written inside double quotation marks: “ ” when the quotation is 4 or less typed lines.
A quotation helps support your arguement by showing that other experts agree with you.
When you use a quotation, “enclose the author’s last name and the relevant page number(s) within parentheses” (Smith, Jones, and Parks 781).
Example Two (to avoid plagarism):

2. PARAPHRASE: USE LESS FREQUENTLY
- When you use someone else’s ideas but write it in your own words.
- Do not use quotation marks.
