1. Honors English 9 INTEGRATING QUOTATIONS

2. The Situation: KWPQ You want to use the following line from Chapter 6:  “And yet, against their will, they had developed a certain respect for the efficiency with which the animals were managing their own affairs.” However, you only want to use a noun and its modifiers.

3. KEY WORD OR PHRASE QUOTATION A “key” word or phrase quotation is a method to include important details or terms from the text you’re quoting. We’re not talking about a sentence quotation. The quoted phrase should not be able to stand on its own.

4.  “And yet, against their will, they had developed a certain respect for the efficiency with which the animals were managing their own affairs.”  The animals heard that humans were expressing “a certain respect for the efficiency” demonstrated on Animal Farm (Orwell 65). KEY WORD OR PHRASE QUOTATION

5. KWPQ In key word and phrase quotations, we do NOT need a comma before the quotation. Mrs. Basta skipped to English class “with much vigor and excitement” (Funk 34). Take away quotation marks – does it work as a sentence?

6. PUNCTUATION Notice! We do NOT need a comma before the quotation. When you use the author’s name in your quotation introduction, remove them from your citation: Ms. Brinker suggests to readers that students “revere Mr. Stadnycki as the Greeks did their gods” (34).

7. MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE When using a quotation in the middle of a sentence, there are no commas needed on either side of the quotation. Pratt writes that “kind, cherubic” English classes drive Mr. Stadnycki to unbridled joy (84).

8. EXCLAMATION POINTS When YOUR SOURCE’S word or phrase ends with an exclamation point, you must include the exclamation inside the quotation mark, as it is part of the author’s writing. You still need to end your sentence with a period after the citation. As a result, your sentence will have double punctuation.

9. EXCLAMATION POINTS Notice the double punctuation in the first example! Mr. Stadnycki suggested that all the students were loving his “sweet, sweet presentation!” (Kusters 30). There is a logic to this! THINK! Where does YOUR sentence end?

10. …AND QUESTION MARKS  A KWPQ can not include a question mark from your author. There is no question because it’s not a full sentence.  If YOUR sentence is a question, place your question mark after the citation.  What is the purpose of rocking if you can’t “rock their socks” (Stadnycki 253)?

11. The Steps: KWPQ 1.Choose a dynamic/expressive word or phrase to quote (less than a full sentence in your source). 2.Blend the quoted words with your own words to create one complete sentence. 3.Place the quoted words at the beginning, middle, or end of the sentence. 4.Place quotation marks around the quoted words, and place the citation at the end of the sentence.

12. The Situation: FSQ You want to use the following line from Chapter 6:  “And yet, against their will, they had developed a certain respect for the efficiency with which the animals were managing their own affairs.” This time, you want to include the entire line. Write a sentence that quotes the entire line. Do your best!

13.  Formal Sentence Quotations introductions are followed by a colon (:)  What does a colon do?  The colon indicates that what follows it is an explanation or elaboration or what precedes it.  A colon never follows a verb, preposition, or a conjunction FORMAL SENTENCE QUOTATION

14.  The humans could not help but admire the animals: “And yet, against their will, they had developed a certain respect for the efficiency with which the animals were managing their own affairs” (Orwell 65). EXAMPLE

15.  Informal Sentence Quotations introductions are followed by a comma (,)  Introduced by a verb implying speech (said, exclaimed, discusses)  Still requires a full clause as introduction. INFORMAL

16.  We get a sense of the humans’ admiration for the animals when Orwell writes, “And yet, against their will, they had developed a certain respect for the efficiency with which the animals were managing their own affairs” (65). EXAMPLE

17. The Steps: FSQ 1.Choose a dynamic/expressive sentence to quote. 2.Write a full clause to introduce it. 3.Decide whether to use a formal (colon) or informal (comma) introduction. 4.Place the quoted words after the introduction clause and punctuation. 5.Place quotation marks around the quoted words and follow with a citation (closing punctuation on the outside).
