  1. Notes – October 17th Writing – Day 3

  2. Goals • Finish finding evidence to back up your topic sentences • Use proper MLA citations! • Start typing body paragraphs • Work on introduction/conclusion • Use notes provided on outline handout to aid you in this. *Rough Draft Due TOMORROW*

  3. Blending Quotes • #1: Introduce the quotation with a complete sentence and a colon. • Example: As Romeo prepares to depart, Juliet declares her love: “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, / My love as deep. The more I give to thee, / The more I have, for both are infinite” (II.ii.133-135).

  4. Blending Quotes #2: Use an introductory phrase, separated from the quotation by a comma. • Example: Juliet explains to Romeo, “…Although I joy in thee, / I have no joy of this contract tonight” (II.ii.116). • Example: Juliet ponders, “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?” (II.ii.33).

  5. Blending Quotes • # 3 Blend the quotation into your own sentence without any punctuation to separate the two. • Example: Shakespeare uses Friar Lawrence to foreshadow the tragedy to come when he warns Romeo that “These violent delights have violent ends” (II.vi.9). • Example: Lord Capulet tells Tybalt to “Show a fair presence and put off these frowns, / An ill-beseeming semblance for a feast” (I.v.71-72).

  6. Blending Quotes • # 4 Use a short quot. (or a small part of a quot.)—only a few words—as part of your sentence • Example: Lord Capulet describes Romeo as “… a virtuous and well-governed youth” and demands that Tybalt leave Romeo alone (I.v.66). * The sentence MUST MAKE SENSE!

  7. NO NAKED QUOTES • A quote needs an INTRODUCTION (shirt) • A quote needs ANALYSIS (pants) • How does the citation that you chose back up your topic sentence (which backs up your thesis)
