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.
