1 Integrating quotations Tips on how to integrate textual support smoothly into your own writing

WHY use quotes at all? Paraphrasing wouldn't do it justice o *Note, even if you paraphrase, you still must cite! Example (e.g. literary analysis, book review) To provide context for an intensive analysis of a short excerpt (e.g. literary analysis) Strengthen your argument with credible source

The Quote "Sandwich" 1.Lead-In Sentence(s) a. Provides context b. Signals quote is coming c. "Evidential" transition words help: "for instance," "for example," or "in fact" 2.Quote a. Succinct b. Directly relevant to point 3.Analysis/connecting Sentence(s) a. Makes connection to significance FOR the reader b. Moves reader from quote to your own point

Break Down Lead in: For instance Dr. Willy Weather, a weather specialist at Standford University, was quoted saying, Quote: "Sandy has claimed more lives than any of us expected, and seems to be continuing to do so" (72). Analysis/connection: In fact, not only has it surpassed their expectations, but it has caused more deaths than both Hurricane Irene and Katrina.

5 Options for Integrating Quotations: #1 = Incorporate Incorporate the quotation into your sentence, capitalizing and punctuating it as you would if it were not a quotation. Wheat Thins is [sic] “a snack for anyone actively seeking experiences.” Sixteen is the perfect number to “[keep] you on the path to, and proud of, doing what you love to do, no matter what that is.”

6 Options for Integrating Quotations: #1 = Incorporate If you change an element within the quote to make it work grammatically, use brackets [ ] to indicate an addition or change; use ellipses … to indicate an omission. Colbert explains, “the serving size [of wheat thins] is 16 crackers [so, as delicious as they are, I] shouldn’t eat more than 16.” Wheat thins are “[t]he perfect snacking sidekick whenever, wherever, and for whatever.”

7 Options for Integrating Quotations: #2 = attribute Introduce a full-sentence quotation by using an attributive speech tag like “he writes,” “she claims,” and so on. The memo clearly states, “That is a ‘brand don’t.’” Colbert declares, “I’m not waiting for anyone who didn’t already have Wheat Thins.”

AP English Language and Composition: Glass8 A cautionary note Do NOT use an attributive speech tag like “he writes,” “she claims,” “she argues,” “he asserts,” etc. to introduce a quote that is NOT a complete sentence. INCORRECT: Colbert explains, “The serving size, sixteen.” The memo reads, “[A] snack for anyone actively seeking experiences.”

AP English Language and Composition: Glass9 Options for Integrating Quotations: #3 = Use a sentence. Use a full sentence of your own to introduce a quote You must use a colon to introduce the quotation in this case. The team at Nabisco has broken down Wheat Thins’ core message into two distinct categories: “what is the role of the brand” and “what’s not the role of the brand.” The memo also explains Wheat Thins’ mission: “Wheat Thins are not a creator of isolated, un-sharable experiences; they are a connector of like-minded people encouraging sharing.”

Example. Let's watch Colbert demonstrate.Colbert

AP English Language and Composition: Glass11 Options for Integrating Quotations: Colon or comma? The memo reads “If they are shown out of the box (like in a bowl), there should only be a max of 16.” Underlined portion = a fragment Colbert gives instructions to his viewers “If you don’t have some, go buy some.” Underlined portion = a complete sentence

AP English Language and Composition: Glass12 Capitalization Rules Capitalize the first letter of any complete sentence you quote unless you introduce it with “that.” The memo offers this reminder: “If they are shown out of the box (like in a bowl), there should only be a max of 16.” The memo tells us, “If they are shown out of the box (like in a bowl), there should only be a max of 16.” The memo warns that “[i]f they are shown out of the box (like in a bowl), there should only be a max of 16.”

13 Punctuation Rules: Commas and Periods Commas and periods go within closing quotation marks, EXCEPT when a parenthetical reference follows the quotation. Sixteen is the perfect number to “[keep] you on the path to, and proud of, doing what you love to do, no matter what that is.” Sixteen is the perfect number to “[keep] you on the path to, and proud of, doing what you love to do, no matter what that is” (Colbert).

14 Punctuation Rules: Colons, Semicolons, Question Marks, Exclamation Points, Dashes When colons, semicolons, question marks, exclamation points, or dashes are not part of the quotation, put them outside of the closing quotation marks. If a colon, semicolon, question mark, exclamation point, or dash is part of the original quotation, place it within the closing quotation mark. Do you agree with the claim that “Wheat Thins are not a creator of isolated, un-sharable experiences; they are a connector of like-minded people encouraging sharing”? Wheat Thins are “not an exclusive or exclusionary brand”; therefore, they should be portrayed as welcoming.

15 Block Quotes: Usage Rules Use block quotes sparingly, if at all. The more your quote, the more you must explain! Begin quote as a new line of text. Indent 1” from left margin. No quotation marks Parenthetical citation goes outside final punctuation within quote.

16 Block Quotes: Example In his poem “The Problem," Ralph Waldo Emerson explores the inner philosophical struggle of a religious yet unorthodox man: I like a church; I like a cowl; I love a prophet of the soul; And on my heart monastic aisles Fall like sweet strains, or pensive smiles: Yet not for all his faith can see Would I that cowlëd churchman be.
