Today we continued working on our skills required to write up an interview. The warmup focused on the rules of punctuating a sentence that contains a quotation.
Mr. McCabe said, "Quotations are easy."
1) Comma before the quotation.
2) Capitalize the first word of the quotation.
3) The period (or exclamation point, etc) goes inside the final quotation mark.
We also learned how to do an MLA-style citation entry for a personal interview:
