Citing Effectively:
While it is important to master the mechanics of citing correctly (using perfect APA format and avoiding the use of Plagiarism) it is also important to master the art of using to those citations effectively.
One academic skill is learning to place yourself within the fabric of the larger scholarly dialogue. To do this, you need to master the "art" or skill of responding to what others have said in critical, thoughtful, and reflective ways. This is a skill that you will be practicing throughout the semester. Remember, it is not only important to cite correctly (mechanically using APA format) but it is also important to use your citations effectively in your writing. Make sure to avoid using long passages (or block quotes of secondary sources) as this can be a form of plagiarism known as patchwork writing. Make sure to be selective with your citations. Try to find a place to jump into the scholarly conversation by finding a place that has been left out where you could add some value. Remember to combine what the experts have to say with what you have to say. Also, make sure that your reader understands why you have included the citation in your writing. You can do this by contextualizing your quote/citation and by framing it in context. Until it becomes a habit, practice by making a quote sandwich for every citation you use in your writing.
Introduce! Explain! Contextualize!

To prepare review the following article:
http://gsw1120.wikispaces.com/file/view/As-He-Himself-Puts-It.pdf
(Click the link above).
Consider the following critical questions:
- Can you summarize 2-3 important practical tips from the article. For example, what formulas are provided for more effective and sophisticated use of citing quotes? (e.g. How and why do you make a "quote sandwich"?)
- Can you remember what images are used in the article to illustrate how writers often make mistakes when citing? For example, what is an "orphan" quote? What should the writer have done differently? What is a "dangling" or "hit and run" quote? What should the writer have done differently?
- Have you considered the revised passage. How has the student author in the article contextualized the use of the Bordo citations more effectively in their revision? Go back through the example provided on page 45 and then compare it with the revision on page 47-48 (after using the template). How did the author contextualize the use of quotes and citations more effectively (e.g. why has the author stated Bordo "deplores" using connotation to better explain the passage)? What else has the author done more effectively?
- Do you know how to make a quote sandwich?
