​In-text Citation
Within your speech, you will need to use in-text citations to point readers to the appropriate source in your Works Cited page. While in-text citations typically include a page number, there are no page numbers for a DVD, so you will leave that out.

You would instead use approximate time stamps from the movie to indicate which portion you are discussing in your written work. However, you won't have the DVD in front of you to do this for this assignment, so just include the movie title for your in-text citation as that is the first piece in your full citation.

Make sure to put the movie title in italics!
  • (Little Women) < your in-text citation should look like this after each idea referenced in your speech that comes from the movie you watched.

If you referenced the excerpt from the Little Women text, you will also need to include in-text citations. We do not have page numbers for this source either, so you would just use the first piece from your full citation, Alcott.
  • (Alcott) < your in-text citation should look like this after each idea referenced in your speech that comes from the excerpt you referenced.
