MOST IMPORTANT FOR US
5. quoting from
a story- borrowing words from a story , putting them into your paragraph, essay,
citation, citing
Borrow words from a text. Incorporate the
words into our writing. Include the words in our sentence.
-borrowing
words without quoting them is plagiarism.
“blindfolded
with ice”
The boys saw
that the birds were “blindfolded with ice”. Therefore, the boys felt empathy
for them.
*Incorporate-
put words from the story into your sentence.
“helpless
pheasants”

were looking at the “helpless pheasants” and felt sorry for them.
“icy rain”
Both the
boys and the birds were covered with “icy rain.”
Both the
boys and the birds were covered with frozen rain.
**Choose a
few quotations for a paragraph. You want
a balance.
** You have
use your best judgement when to quote works.
Why am I
using this word? Is it a word that I would normally use? Is it a word from the
story?
The boys hadn’t
brought any “clubs, or sacks” to harvest the birds.
The boys
were unprepared. For example, they didn’t bring any “clubs” to harvest the birds.
The boys
were unprepared. For example, they didn’t bring any tools to harvest the birds.
REWROTE THE IDEA IN YOUR OWN WORDS
The boys
were unprepared. For example, they didn’t bring any tools, such as “clubs, or
sacks” to get the birds.
If it is special
word/s from the story, quote it/them.
“Tree branches
glistened like glass.”
All of the
plants and buildings “glistened like glass” when the ice froze on them.
Ready for
UBC!
Read the
idea. Rephrase it, restate it in your own word.
This is the
basic idea of quoting from a text. We will practice it a lot in class.
