Direct Quotes
• A direct quote is an exact, word for word copy of the original source.
• For example, “In a paper analyzing primary sources such as literary works, you will use direct quotation extensively to illustrate and support your analysis” (Aaron 257).
• This quote comes from the source exactly as the author had written it.

• Direct quotes must use a lead-in or tag phrase. In other words, direct quotes must be attached to your own writing.
• If you look at the previous direct quote, you will notice the phrase “For example,” which is enough to satisfy the lead-in requirement.
For example, “In a paper analyzing primary sources such as literary works, you will use direct quotation extensively to illustrate and support your analysis” (Aaron 257).

Consider the following summary.
Robertson argues that Elizabeth I is an unrecognized military genius.Although she is often portrayed herself as the queen-mother figure, she was also viewed as the king. This is accentuated by her appearance at the defeat of the Spanish Armada, when she dressed in completely in masculine clothing ( Robertson 133-4).

• The page numbers that follow the summary let the reader know when Robertson’s ideas stop and where your ideas begin.
• Note that a properly written paraphrase or summary does not need quotation marks.
