Monday- November 16- Identify the three types of quotations

First we will define / identify each type of quote 

Direct Quotations

Direct quotations involve incorporating another person's exact words into your own writing.

1. Quotation marks always come in pairs. Do not open a quotation and fail to close it at the end of the quoted material.
2. Capitalize the first letter of a direct quote when the quoted material is a complete sentence.

   Mr. Johnson, who was working in his field that morning, said, "The alien spaceship appeared right before my own two eyes."

Partial Quotations

A partial quotation is one that does not constitute a complete thought or is a complete thought has been incorporated into a framing sentence. Capitalization and punctuation depend on circumstances, as shown in these examples.

1.
 His comment left me wondering whether I’d be “invited to resign”, as he had put it.

Direct Example:

Mr. and Mrs. Allen, owners of a 300-acre farm, said, "We refuse to use that pesticide because it might pollute the nearby wells."

Paraphrased Example: 

Mr. and Mrs. Allen stated that they "refuse to use that pesticide" because of possible water pollution.

Paraphrasing

Paraphrasing means formulating someone else’s ideas in your own words. To paraphrase a source, you have to rewrite a passage without changing the meaning of the original text.

Paraphrasing is an alternative to quoting, where you copy someone’s exact words and put them in quotation marks. In academic writing, it’s usually better to paraphrase instead of quoting, because it shows that you have understood the source and makes your work more original.

Every time you paraphrase, it’s important to cite the source. You also have to be careful not to use wording that is too similar to the original. Otherwise, you could be at risk of committing plagiarism.

Putting it into your own words

Paraphrasing example

Original passage

“The number of foreign and domestic tourists in the Netherlands rose above 42 million in 2017, an increase of 9% and the sharpest growth rate since 2006, the national statistics office CBS reported on Wednesday” (DutchNews.nl, 2018).

Paraphrased version

According to the national statistics office, the Netherlands experienced dramatic growth in tourist numbers in 2017. More than 42 million tourists travelled to or within the Netherlands that year, representing a 9% increase—the steepest in 12 years (DutchNews.nl, 2018).

QUOTATION RULES
REVIEW:1. Use quotation marks to enclose titles of short works, such as short stories, essays, newspaper articles and magazine articles.

2. Use quotation marks to enclose unfamiliar slang and other unusual for original expressions
A once-popular expression was "zounds."

3. In dialogue: begin a new paragraph and use a new set of quotation marks every time the speaker changes:
"Are you going to the zoo?" I asked.
"Well," he said. "I want to take my children to the museum."
"Why?" I asked. "Tuesday is free admission day at the zoo."
"I will," he said, "join you at the zoo on Tuesday."

4. Said Whom? Is it Smith said or said Smith? That is a little wrinkle in the ways of attribution. Here is the solution:

If all the writer wants to do is tell ho said what, then the construction is "Smith said." For example:
I love journalism class," Smith said.

However, if the writer wants to tell a bit about Smith besides his or her name, you should state it this way:
I love journalism class," said Smith, whose mother is the journalism teacher.
