My remarkable shelf by Matthew Scarry https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl Matthew Scarry - LIBA 100 (U) en-us 2018-10-22 16:12:03 UTC 2026-03-16 08:33:16 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png mcscarry https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/295549121 You need to find the writer's piece and the name of the composition. Sometimes you need more context for the reader to understand what is going on in your writing. 
-In "Space Exploration," Matthew Scarry, a United States astronaut, writes, "The asteroid flew into our ship causing us to be knocked off course."]]> 2018-10-22 16:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/295549121 mcscarry https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297194144 Any short quote or things taken from a text need quotation marks.

Example:
BigMattOfficial states, "When I become famous, I will use my money to fund non-profit organisations and give it to people in need."

Example:
My mom says, "Go clean your room or you will be grounded for a month."]]> 2018-10-25 21:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297194144 mcscarry https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297195892 Basically just include the author's name before jumping into a quote so that you make sure the person is credited.

Example:
Matthew C. Scarry states, "If you aren't living to make someone else's life better, you are wasting your time."]]> 2018-10-25 21:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297195892 mcscarry https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297196924 Using words in a quote grammatically generally has no commas.

Example:
BigMattOfficial draws our attention to the word "swag" to define how cool he really is in real life.

A comma is needed though when introducing an entire quote.

Example:
BigMattOfficial says, "I am the best sound-cloud rapper in the entire world."]]> 2018-10-25 21:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297196924 mcscarry https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297197947 If you want to change a quote but still use it and give the author/speaker credit, use brackets.

Example:
BigMattOfficial states, "I will be the new music talent that people flock to."
BigMattOfficial states, "I will be the new music talent that [most people] flock to."]]> 2018-10-25 21:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297197947 mcscarry https://padlet.com/mcscarry/ud3mq9jr5lbl/wish/297199744 If you are going to be using a long quote, put it in a block format.

Example:
   In a 3 minute sound-cloud track from 2018, "Take the L," BigMattOfficial shows us why he takes no L's:
"Take the L son cause you know you got one. One L, two L, here's the third L." (Chorus)

Example:
BigMattOfficial states, "By 'they', I meant everyone who was not as cool as me."
