    quoting text, borrowing text from a story

 

Very useful for English 10

 

“ “ quoting from a story

Borrow words from a story

-“   “ put quotation marks around the word or few words

-incorporate the quotation into a sentence

 

Borrow a few words from the story

e.g. “an inarticulate man a little at sea with an imaginitive child

too long

choose a few words, 1,2,3,4-word phrase

“a little at sea” – IDIOM lost, don’t know what to do

Incorporate it into out our sentence.

 

Even though the father loved Peter, he seemed to be “a little at sea” when it came to their relationship.

 

The father was “an inarticulate man a little at sea with an imaginitive child”. XXX WAY TOO LONG

 

“inarticulate man” The father, who was “an inarticulate man”, found it hard to express his love for his son, Peter.

 

 

1.    Quote only a few words (1,2,3,4). If you quote a whole sentence, or more than a few words, that’s not right.

 

If you writing 10-page papers, you can quote longer passages; however, for a 150-200 word paragraph you must keep the quotations to just a few words.

 

Goal: choose 1-4 words to quote.

 

2.    Incorporate the quoted word(s) into your writing. Make the quoted word(s) fit into your sentence.

 

 

 

 

Sentence combining – use all of the sentence styles, all of the clauses
