MLA Quote Worksheet + IN-TEXT quotations 1. IN TEXT Quotation Instructions: Simply follow one of the formulas below: Tag the Speaker + Lead with context and a linking verb + quote + citation Lead with context + TAG the Speaker/Author + linking verb + quote + citation Tag + part of quote + linking phrase + more of quote + lead/tag + citation STEP ONE: First you need to TAG the speaker or author (identifies the speaker/writer or who is being referenced in the quote). STEP TWO: LEAD into the quotation with context: establishes context about when, where, and how the quoted material occurs. Use a linking verb to transition into the quote. However, itʼ s not as simple as just plugging in a random verb; what the actual quote says must match the authorʼ s meaning. Read the passage you use closely. Here are some suggestions for linking verbs acknowledges rejects believes claims denies emphasizes suggests argues illustrates points out writes asserts implies confirms reasons describes refutes discovers etc. AVOID: This quote means… As this quote shows… On page five, the character says… She says, “…” Run-ons! Using a “saying” verb, LINK your lead to the quoted material so it’s all on sentence. STEP THREE: Citation (correct formatting that identifies the page number where the quote is found after the quoted material—even if quoted material is not the end of the sentence). AVOID: (p. 13) (pg 13) (page 13) (#13) (chapter 3) (Bradbury) (Bradbury.13) (Bradbury Ch 3) Hints: Only capitalize the start of the quoted material if it’s capitalized in the work Make sure the whole sentence (your writing linked to the quote) flows as one complete sentence No punctuation goes between the last the quotation mark and the citation unless there’s a ! or ? already in the quote. Then, use both: “Quote!”(1). If you alter a word, use [ ]’s to show the change Only change words to clarify meaning or align grammar: “he” changes to “[Sedaris]” and “he was” changes to “he [is]” Pick the best part of the quote to support your ideas. LESS IS OFTEN MORE! QUOTE INTEGRATION PRACTICE! For the three options below, highlight the different elements that always appear in integrating quotes: 1) Tag (identifies the speaker/writer or who is being referenced in the quote) 2) Lead (establishes context about when, where, and how the quoted material occurs) 3) Citation (correct formatting that identifies the page number where the quote is found after the quoted material—even if quoted material is not the end of the sentence) Option #1: Tag/lead into quote fully, quoted material, citation When Mr. Bittering swims with his family in the canal, he and his wife discuss the changes rendered in their family. Referencing their children’s’ changed eye color, Mr. Bittering muses that, “Maybe we’re children too. At least to Mars”(7). Option #2: Lead/tag, part of quote, linking phrase, more of quote, citation While swimming with his family in the canal, Mr. Bittering observes to his wife that, “At least to Mars” they might all be “children too”(7). Option #3: Tag, part of quote, lead/tag, more of quote, citation, lead/tag Bittering’s notion that, “At least to Mars,” the changing Earthlings might, “[be] children too”(7) is essential in highlighting Mr. Bittering’s transforming interpretation of the assimilation process. 1) Pick a quote from the text you are analyzing Quote: Who is involved: What is happening in the story when the quoted material occurs: What is the tone of the quoted material (what is the speaker/author’s attitude): What page/line does this quote appear on: 2) Now, practice using TLC.
