Embedding Quotations Flashcards

The process of integrating evidence from a text smoothly into your own writing to support your ideas.

To provide evidence for your points and demonstrate understanding of the text.

A phrase used to introduce a quotation, e.g., 'The writer states...' or 'This is shown when...'.

Combining parts of a quotation with your own words to create a seamless sentence.

Using brief excerpts from the text to avoid disrupting the flow of your writing.

Ensure correct use of quotation marks and punctuation, e.g., commas or colons before the quotation.

Always explain the context of the quotation to show its relevance to your point.

Use quotations selectively to support your ideas rather than relying on them excessively.

Follow up with analysis to explain how the quotation supports your point and its effect on the reader.

'The writer creates tension through the description, as shown when he writes, "the silence was deafening."'
