 Introduce sentence with speaker or author’s last name then comma
 Put copied words in quotation marks
 Put page number in parentheses
 End sentence with punctuation mark
 Highlight citation
As stated in the text, “Mythology, religion, history, and rituals were not separate things
for Native American people” (1).

Explain citation in your own words:


This provides that… This illustrates…This shows that… In other words…
 Explain in your own words why you chose that citation

Example SSR I.C.E. Response:


02/06/19 SRR#1 pages 404-411

In the essay, “A Celebration of Grandfathers” Rudolfo Anaya


recalls the culture of his native state of New Mexico where old people were
respected and honored. Specifically, Anaya describes how his ancestors
from the Rio Grande, “helped each other through epidemics and the
personal tragedies” (405). This shows that the people from this area
want to keep their heritage alive through strength and endurance.
