11. Somebody Says Lead-in
This type of lead-in is most frequently used, but be careful to not overuse it. The author’s name is used to introduce the quote (academic articles) or the character/narrator of a narrative.
Examples:
Jane M. Agee comments, “Many students who would not have attempted college even seven years ago are not coming into universities through junior colleges” (10).
The messenger says, “He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of a lion” (Shakespeare 21).
In a play, the somebody says lead-in should note the same of the speaker of the quote.

12. Blended Lead-in
Blended lead-ins provide flexibility to the writer. The writer chooses the part of the quote necessary for his paper and blends it smoothly into the rest of the sentence.
Example:
State universities are serving a broader student population than ever before by admitting students from junior colleges and through “special remedial programs where students who do not meet entrance requirements are admitted on probation” (Agee 10).

13. Sentence Lead-in
A sentence lead-in is an effective lead-in where the sentence prior to the quote leads directly to the following sentence. It is almost an introduction to the quote.
Examples:
Agee insists that English instruction on the college level will not be improved until educations examine the situation realistically: “Public school teachers, professors of English Education, students, and state leaders need to sit down together and evaluate the current realities before any real progress can be made” (10).
Beatrice constantly looks down on Benedick and degrades him with her quick wit: “Scratching could not make it worse and it were such a face as yours were” (Shakespeare 14).

14. Analysis (Interpretation)
In one sentence, explain the context of the quote
A little bit of plot recall is okay if necessary
In one to two sentences, explain how the quote you have chosen proves your claim
Avoid banned phrases
In one sentence, explain how this paragraph supports your thesis
Only do this at the end of the paragraph, not in between the quotes

15. Introduction Be brief 3-4 sentences at the most Start with a hook
End with your thesis statement…this is a must.

16. Conclusion
Be brief
3-4 sentences maximum
Repeat the thesis statement in different words than you did in the introduction
Include a call to action for the reader
