How to Cite Sources -Pre-Rev Essay

Hi everyone,
For this essay, you do not need to create a Works Cited.  However, you do need to tell me where you got your information.  So you will be using parenthetical citations. Here is what this will look like:

For a DBQ document - Name it in the sentence and add (Doc X) at the end.  It will look like this:

• For example, "The Value of American Trade" chart shows that in 1765,... (Doc A).
• As Janet Schaw wrote in 1775, "blah blah blah," (Doc F).

For the textbook - put the name of the lead author (Garcia) and the page number after the quote. It will look like this:

• After the Stamp Act was passed, "blah blah blah" (Garcia 61). [Note: THIS ONLY WORKS FOR A DIRECT QUOTE.]

For an outside source - Put a simplified version of the website after the quote in parentheses, or name it in the lead-up to the quote. It will look like this:

• In the colonies, "the colonial assembly was the lowest in a three-part structure of government" (Reference.com).  
• As stated in LiveScience.com, the Enlightenment was "blah blah blah".

How do I lead into a direct quote or specific source?
Here are some sentence starters:

• For example,...
• As ______ shows,...
• As [name of speaker] said,"blah blah blah"...
• For instance,...
• As [something] proposed,... (ex: As the Tea Act of 1773 proposed,...)
• In [year], [name of speaker] said, "blah blah blah".
