The only source to be used for this assignment is the reading posted on Blackboard. DO NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES!!! Not giving credit to the original author/publisher is plagiarism. Please use parenthesis and cite the proper page at the end of the sentence. If you are using direct quotes, please use quotation marks. A simple pair of parentheses before the period of the sentence with the page number will suffice. For example:
District Judge Darryl Buttersworth, in his unpublished novel, argued that the history of using quotes effectively in essays should be acknowledged as “the foundation of civilization” (42).
3) Include a creative, exciting title with your essay. NO TITLE PAGE or WORKS CITED PAGE.
