  1. Quote Set-up • Introduce the quote • Provide the background information that allows the reader to understand what is happening in the story when the quote comes up • EXAMPLE: For a simple exercise on plural nouns, Mr. Kaplan submits a paper with his own inventions of these plural forms. “Mr. Parkhill read [the paper] over several times, very thoughtfully. He decided that here was a student who might, unchecked, develop into a ‘problem case.’ It was clearly a case that called for special attention” (Rosten 62).

  2. Quote Integration • DO NOT have stand-alone quotes • Integrate the quote into your own sentences • EXAMPLE • QUOTE: “Mr. Parkhill read this over several times, very thoughtfully. He decided that here was a student who might, unchecked, develop into a ‘problem case.’ It was clearly a case that called for special attention” (Rosten 62). • SET-UP + INTEGRATION: For a simple exercise on plural nouns, Mr. Kaplan submits a paper with his own inventions of these plural forms.
