This slideshow helps you adapt APA formatting to your sources, figures, and images within your presentation. One correction is that I would recommend titling your sources slide as "References," just as you would in an APA research paper.

Paraphrases and Quotes

Not sure what the difference is between paraphrasing, summarizing and quoting?

Paraphrasing: "Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly." from Purdue Owl

Summarizing: A summary is "much shorter that the original source. If your aim is to summarize a long passage, look for the author's most important ideas." from The Curious Writer

Quoting: A quote contains the exact words from a source. Don't forget to use quotation marks and cite the source.
