GRACE NOTES

1. The excerpt is a powerful form of short writing. Select the best or most relevant materials from others as evidence for your own arguments and essays.

2. Even if you are using an excerpt in a new context, make sure that it does not violate the spirit of the original work. Much harm is done by ripping someone’s words out of their original context. Embrace responsible practice by checking an excerpt for accuracy and context.

3. When you cut a longer quotation down to size, be sure to use punctuation—such as quotation marks and ellipses—to signal that something has been left out.
