Quoting – What should we
quote?
-
use best
judgement
-
quote special
words or phrases
-
Question I ask
myself: What am I using this word?
Is this a word
I would use anyway? OR Am I borrowing it from
the story?
e.g. seagull-
fly- ordinary
word, our active vocabulary
“bone and
feathers”(2)
feathers
“his
feathers ruffled”(1)
You have to
be reasonable, make a judgement call.
When we
write about this on Monday, I would like you to drop a few quotations into your
paragraph.
REMINDER:
Quote only a few (2,3,4) words. Incorporate the quoted words into your sentences.
Paragraph –
150-200 words. 95% your words.
Postsecondary
paper- 10-15pp- You can quote longer passages.
Raw
“bone and
feathers”(2)
Jonathan’s
mother was worried about him because he was spending so much time practicing
his flying that he was neglecting to eat. She saw that he was just “bone and
feathers”(Bach 2) and was concerned about his health.
Kyle
Kirkwood – MLA Citation style
She saw that
he was just “bone and feathers”(2).

your daily life. It’s really important for you to engage with authentic English
daily.
