When+to+Cite

When you "cite" a source, you are giving credit to the writer, photographer, or artist.

 * ====Generally speaking, you should cite the source ** __any tim__e you include information or __ideas that are not your own__ **. You should cite ** quotes and paraphrases and facts ** that are ** not common knowledge. **====
 * ====When using MLA format, you should use a parenthetical reference (in-text citation), putting the author's name in parentheses at the end of the sentence. Your paper or project should include a Works Cited page at the end of your paper.====
 * ====If your teacher does not require in-text citations, you should list your sources in your __**Bibliography at the end of the paper**__ or project.====

__How__ to cite sources:

 * ===An in-text citation or parenthetical reference means the source for the quote or paraphrase is placed within the text of your paper.===
 * ===Use the author's last name and the page number (Hinton 25).===
 * ===If there is no author, use the title or, if the title is long, use the first few words of the title. "The Impact of Global Warming".===
