Brief Assignment 5: Integrating and Evaluating Quotations
Reading 5: Textbook Ch. 1 Quotations p. 32-44; E-Handbook Ch. 15
Objective: To identify and evaluate quotations for use in your analysis essay.
Purpose: Quotations pose several challenges for writers. The purpose of this assignment is for you to select quotations from sources you plan to use in your analysis essay, evaluate their usefulness, and discuss how and where you might use these in your upcoming draft.
Description: Begin by writing your working thesis at the top of your assignment. Then, select a certain number of quotations (between 5 - 7) from the article that you plan to analyze in your draft. Write a brief assessment of why each quotation would be useful to you in composing your draft. Your assessment of each quotation should include your answers to the following questions:
· Where will this quotation fit in your organization?
· How does it further and/or support your analysis?
· Will you use it as a quotation or paraphrase the selection, and why?
NOTE: You may find that in identifying and evaluating your quotations, you modify your original thesis statement.
