Summarize the following:
Use an introductory or lead-in clause so the evidence fits seamlessly in the text. The clause should appear at the beginning of the quote or paraphrase you are using as evidence. For example, you may use an introductory clause like, "According to Anne Carson", "In the following chart...," "The author states," "The survey shows...." or "The study argues" Place a comma after the introductory clause if you are using a quote. For example, "According to Anne Carson, 'Desire is no light thing" or "The study notes, 'levels of addiction rise as levels of poverty and homelessness also rise.'" A list of introductory clauses can be found here: https://student.unsw.edu.au/introducing-quotations-and-paraphrases. Another option is to use your own claim or argument to introduce the evidence in a clear, assertive way. Keep the claim or argument short and relevant. Use a colon after the claim or argument. For example, you may write, "In the novel, Carson is never shy about how her characters express desire for each other: 'When they made love/ Geryon liked to touch in slow succession each of the bones of Herakles' back'" Or you may write, "The study charts the rise in addiction levels, concluding: 'There is a higher level of addiction in specific areas of the United States.'" You can also try placing the evidence within a sentence so it flows smoothly and naturally. Use a short piece of evidence in the sentence so it does not come across too long-winded or confusing. For example, you may write, "Carson views events as inevitable, as man moving through time like "a harpoon," much like the fates of her characters." Or you may write, "The chart indicates the rising levels of addiction in young people, an "epidemic" that shows no sign of slowing down." If you are introducing the evidence for the first time in the essay, always include the author's name and the title of the reference or source when you discuss it. After you mention the author and title the first time, you can use just the author's last name when you present evidence. For example, you may write in the first mention, "In Anne Carson's The Autobiography of Red, the color red signifies desire, love, and monstrosity." Or you may write, "In the study Addiction Rates conducted by the Harvard Review...". After the first mention, you can write, "Carson states" or "The study explores". If you are citing the author's name in-text as part of your citation style, you do not need to note their name in the text. You can just use the quote and then place the citation at the end. Always place quotes around any direct quotes you use from your sources. The quotation marks should appear around a full or partial quote so the reader knows you are using someone else's words. If you are paraphrasing a source, you may still use quotation marks around any text you are lifting directly from the source. properly. Include an in-text citation if that is what is required for the citation style you are using. The in-text citation should appear in parentheses at the end of evidence and contain the author's last name and the page number of where the quote can be found in the original source. Make sure you cite all quotes, charts, graphs, and other resources in your essay. For example, you may write, "In the novel, the characters express desire for each other: 'When they made love/ Geryon liked to touch in slow succession each of the bones of Herakles' back (Carson, 48)." Or you may write, "Based on the data in the graph below, the study shows the 'intersection between opioid addiction and income' (Branson, 10)." If you are using footnotes or endnotes, make sure you use the appropriate citation for each piece of evidence you place in your essay. If you are using a paraphrase of a source or a summary of an original text, make sure you still use the proper references and citations. If you feel you use some of the wording from the original source in the paraphrase or summary, include a citation based on the citation style you are using in the essay. You may also mention the title of the work or source you are paraphrasing or summarizing and the author's name in the paraphrase or summary. For example, you may write a paraphrase like, "As noted in various studies, the correlation between addiction and mental illness is often ignored by medical health professionals (Deder, 10)." Or you may write a summary like, "The Autobiography of Red is an exploration of desire and love between strange beings, what critics have called a hybrid work that combines ancient meter with modern language (Zambreno, 15)." Always include a complete analysis of 1 piece of evidence before moving on to the next one. Placing 2 pieces of evidence in succession without analyzing the first one can be seen as sloppy or underdeveloped. The only time you can place 2 pieces of evidence together are very short quotes, less than 1 line long, and you are comparing the 2 quotes. Your analysis should then include a complete compare and contrast of the 2 quotes to show you have thought critically about them both.

summary: Start with an introductory clause for a simple approach. Use a claim or argument to introduce the evidence. Work the evidence into a sentence. Include the author's name and the title of the reference. Use quotation marks around a direct quote. Cite the evidence Reference your sources when you use a paraphrase or summary as evidence. Discuss 1 piece of evidence at a time.
