Notes: Quote Integration
Quotes provide _____________________________ to claims that you make in academic
writing.
However, quotes must be _____________________________ seamlessly into your
paragraphs.
1) Quotes should NOT be _____________________________ into your paragraph on their
own.
INCORRECT Example:
In the story, “The Veldt,” by Ray Bradbury, the Hadleys have an automated home
and do not have to do anything for themselves. “We’ve never lifted a hand.” (p. 17)
Instead, quotes should be introduced using a ____________________________
__________________________.
The signal phrase may include the author or character’s name, and uses a
_____________________________ to help introduce the quote (see Words that Introduce
Quotes or Paraphrases).
CORRECT Example: In the story, “The Veldt,” by Ray Bradbury, the Hadleys have an
automated home and do not have to do anything for themselves. George states,
“We’ve never lifted a hand,” when discussing the fact that he, Lydia and the children
are spoiled (p. 17).
2) Quotes should NOT be introduced in the _____________________________ person.
INCORRECT Example: In the story, “The Veldt,” by Ray Bradbury, George and Lydia
have an automated house, named Happy-life home, which does everything for them.
I know this because the text states, “this house . . . clothed and fed and rocked them
to sleep and played and sang and was good to them” (p. 7).
Instead, _____________________________ the quote into your own sentence.
CORRECT Example: In the story, “The Veldt,” by Ray Bradybury, George and Lydia
have an automated house, named Happy-life Home, which “clothed and fed and
rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them” (p. 7).
Reminders about Formatting:
1) _____________________________ the first word of a quote only when introducing a direct
phrase by a character or author without weaving it into your sentence.
Ex: George states, “It’s all odorphonics and sonics” (p. 10)
Ex: George states that “it’s all odorphonics and sonics” (p. 10).
2) Incorporate page numbers at the _____________________________ of each sentence using
_____________________________. The period is at the end of the sentence after the
parentheses. See examples above.

Guided Practice: Rewrite each example by either using a signal phrase or by
weaving the quote into your own sentence. You must use the quote provided.
1. Lydia feels as though she is useless in her home. I know this is true because she
states on p. 11 that “the house is wife and mother now and nursemaid.”

2. The Hadley children do not respect the authority of their parents. “I locked the
nursery up . . . and the children broke back into it during the night” (p. 19).

Individual Practice: Using ONE of the two examples of situational irony YOU
discovered through your reading, write one-two sentences that explain the irony
WITH a quote to support your claim about the irony. Remember, do NOT use first
person!
