Practicing Incorporating a Quotation

Matthew Chandler and I found this quote and we think that this quote contains powerful statements describing the historical film.

Accordingly, McPherson had this to say about Zwick's work: "Glory is not only the first feature film to treat the role of black soldiers in the American Civil War, [but] also the most powerful and historically accurate movie about that war ever made." 


This is what Mrs. Lawson wanted me to learn today

• Only use a quote when it adds power and style to my writing.
• Always make it clear, from context, that i understand the full meaning of the quote.
• Whether i quote or paraphrase, always be transparent about the source and how im using it .
• If i use another authors exact words or phrases , to any extent, i have to use quotation marks and give credit.
• If i use another persons authors presentation of facts or ideas,but put their ideas in my own words, i better have a good reason for doing that , and i must give credit. 
• Hyper linking is so easy, there is no excuse for not being transparent about my sources. 

I understand this before I go into an assignment.
