HOW TO INTRODUCE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE IN YOUR WRITING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. You may incorporate textual evidence right into the sentence with the use of quotation marks, but your quote from the text must make sense in the contex<\/strong>t\u00a0of the sentence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example:<\/em><\/p>\n

April is so wildly confused that she actually \u201c\u2026hated Caroline because it was all her fault\u201d (page 118).<\/p>\n

2. Another way to introduce textual evidence is to tell the reader you are doing so.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example:<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the author, \u201cReading and writing are two skills every person will need in the workplace\u201d (page 42).<\/p>\n

Additional examples of this style are listed:<\/em><\/p>\n

As noted on page 79, For example,<\/p>\n

When the author states,\u201d\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

As stated in the text,<\/p>\n

For instance, In the words of \u2026<\/p>\n

An example of this occurs when the main character says, \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The author illustrates this point when she states,<\/p>\n

Toward the end of the story, Ken says, \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

As Zilpha Keatley Snyder points out,<\/p>\n
