· Need quotation marks around directly quoted information.

· For poetry, place a slash (/) between lines.

· Parenthetical Documentation = putting where you got the info in parenthesis at the end of the sentence.

· THE PERIOD ALWAYS GOES AFTER THE PARENTHETICAL DOCUMENTATION!!!!!

In James Berry’s poem “Girls Can We Educate We Dads?” he begins, “Listn the male chauvinist in mi dad – / a girl walkin night street mus be bad” (1 - 2).

· For poems, the lines #s go in the parenthetical documentation.

· Whenever you quote, you must follow it with an explanation! Always! … or else!
