USING QUOTATIONS

Here are some key points to remember when using quotations:

1) Incorporate quotations into your sentences.

2) Keep quotations to a few words.  Quotations are like salt in food: a little bit gives flavour; too much ruins the dish.

3) Use quoted material to support your points.

4) Don’t use too many quotations.  Pick two or three quotations to support your brainstormed points and leave the rest.

5) Make sure the quoted material is exactly as written in the story.  Use … and [] to make minor grammatical or stylistic changes.
...  ellipsis, shows that words have been omitted
"equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black"

The leaves on the ground do not "lay...trodden black", so the narrator knows that no one has walked there today.

6) Avoid repeating quotations.

7) After quoting material, go on to explain why the quotation is relevant.


8) Avoid ending paragraphs with quotations.
