1. Independent reading- First 10 minutes of class

In CLASS:

We will review the ways of source/quote integration.

4 things to remember when integrating sources:
1. Provide context for the quotation. (Explain where it came from, or why the author is important)
2. Attribute the quotation to a source. (Who said it?)
3. Explain the significance of the quotation. (Warrant)
4. Provide a citation for the quotation. (In-text citation)

How to embed a quotation:
1. Lead in with a colon. The colon announces that a quote will follow to provide evidence for the sentence’s claim.

Hamlet denies Rosencrantz’s claim that thwarted ambition caused his depression: “I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space” (Hamlet 2.2).

2. Introduce or conclude the quote by attributing it to the speaker. If your attribution precedes the quote, you will need to use a comma after the verb.

When faced with a twelve-foot mountain troll, Ron gathers his courage, shouting, “Wingardium Leviosa!” (Rowling 176).

3. Use the words of the quote grammatically within your own sentence.

When Hamlet tells Rosencrantz that he “could be bounded in a nutshell and count [him]self a king of infinite space” (Hamlet 2.2), he implies that thwarted ambition did not cause his depression.

REMEMBER: Each sentence you write MUST HAVE YOUR OWN WORDS IN IT. No dive bombing in of quotes. 

FOR Wednesday/Thursday: 

Collate your Steps 2-6 of Writing for your Boot Camp topics. Make sure that each step is CLEARLY LABELED.

Select 1 of the 2 extended paragraph structures you did for Step 6 of Writing. You will be completing STEP 7 of Writing with the ONE extended paragraph structure. This will be a typed draft.

You will actually write out the draft from your extended paragraph structure. Write your thesis as the first sentence (we will adjust this later)... integrating source material as you write. For this exercise and this exercise ONLY, you will make up the quotes. I am not requiring you to research for this one and only assignment. This assignment is about practice the integration of the source material.

Things to remember: 

• You will need to include 3 direct quotes with citation through out the entire piece of writing. Please use each of the three ways of quote integration that I reviewed in class. 
• When time for a transition write the word TRANSITION (for now).
• Remember the 4 things that has to accompany the integration of a quote. EACH TIME.
• In-text citation will be from a book. Nice and easy.  But for future notice... check out the OWL for the different ways of doing IN-TEXT citations. OWL In-text Citation
