Look at something you have written for the RAB assignment. Have you quoted any sources? If so, how have you integrated the quotation into your own text? How have you introduced it? How have you explained what it means? How have you indicated how it relates to your text? If you haven’t done all these things, revise your text to do so, perhaps using the Templates for Introducing Quotations (p. 46) and Explaining Quotations (pp. 46-47). If you’ve not written anything with quotations, try revising some academic text you’ve written to do so.
for my first paragraph I quoted a source and made sure I introduced my source by giving some background information about my quote. I also relate my quote back to my thesis but I lack detail. I need to work more on adding on to my work.
Yes, I have quoted sources that needed some quotations tried to introduce it as if I was introducing a speaker in a seminar about my topic. I tried to explain what it meant but most of the quotes were self-explanatory, if anything I just tried to put it into perspective. I tried to relate back but I don’t want to become redundant because they kind of agree for me so I think me putting it into perspective connects the quote to the rest of the paper enough.
I have quoted one source that needed. I did not introduced my quote which I need to fix. I explain my quote by writing why it was important. i still feel that quotations needs to improve
Writhing with quotes has been something taught to me for a very long time. The way you explained it with a quote sandwich was interesting and it helped me better write more meaningful explanations to the quote. I remember that in the past I would write, I agree or I disagree with most of my quotes and then write something that can connect with what it’s about. I never had any problems with citing or giving proper citation of a quote, but I do remember that my teacher would tell me to underline the title or surround it with quotations, which was weird to me. Also writing the quote and adding a sufficient part of it in order to make an understanding from it was fine to do. I remember that some students when told to peer-feedback each other’s work, would add long quotes that could have been shortened to make it more clear and understandable.
