Instructions
For this discussion, you will practice citing sources! Post the following:

The citation of ONE of the sources from your annotated bibliography just as it would appear on the Works Cited (MLA) or References (APA) page
1-2 sentences from the source
A paraphrase of those 1-2 sentences shared in #2 (cite in MLA or APA)
An integrated quotation that quotes just a few words from those 1-2 sentences shared in #2 (cite in MLA or APA)
A brief explanation of whether you think a paraphrase (#3) or an integrated quotation (#4) would work best for the idea from those 1-2 sentences from the source (#2)
Sample First Posting
National Center for Education Statistics. (2003). Distance education courses for public elementary and secondary school students, 2002-2003. Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education. https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/publications/2005010/index.asp?sectionid=2
Quote: “Of those districts with students enrolled in online distance education courses, 92 percent had students accessing online courses from school, 60 percent had students accessing online courses from home, and 8 percent had students accessing online courses from some other location.”
Paraphrase: According to the National Center for Education Statistics (2003), 92 percent of students in online distance education courses accessed their classes from school, 60 percent from home, and 8 percent from another location.
Integrated Quote: According to the National Center for Education Statistics (2003), “Of those districts with students enrolled in online distance education courses, 92 percent had students accessing online courses from school, 60 percent had students accessing online courses from home, and 8 percent had students accessing online courses from some other location.”
A paraphrase would be better in this case because the exact words don’t matter. Only quote when the exact words need to be emphasized. In this case, the statistics matter but not the exact words, so a paraphrase works best.
