  1. Quote Sandwiches TSIS Ch. 3

  2. Using Sources and Giving Credit • You’ve found your sources, read them, annotated them, and you’re ready to use your sources in your essay. • So… which quotes should you use? • Quotes that contain ideas you want to respond to. • Quotes where the original source’s wording is especially good or important to your response. • Quotes where the original source explains a complex idea clearly and succinctly. • Quotes that contain ideas that would make most people want proof. • Any quote you use should have an explanation/response that is TWICE AS LONG as the original quote. If a quote takes up two full lines of your paper, the explanation/response to that quote should take up FOUR.

  3. They Say / I Say: Chapter 3 • Quotations give your interaction with the ideas of your sources credibility. (p. 42) • Choose quotes that support your claim, and be flexible. This may change as you write. • Frame your quotes. (See how to make a “quote sandwich” on p. 46) • A bad example of how to use a quotation is on p. 45, and the improved example on p. 47.

  4. The “Quote Sandwich” • This is a way to integrate quotes into your paper smoothly and avoid drop-in quotes. • The first piece of “bread” • Introduce quote, possibly mention author, connect quote to what you were saying before. • The “Meat” • Your quote, correctly cited with in-text citation. • The second piece of “bread” • Interpretation/explanation of quote (NOT simply rewording the quote), connect quote to what you will say next.

  5. Online Examples of Quote Sandwiches • http://www.csun.edu/~hflrc006/quote.html • https://sites.google.com/site/sasamtani/quote_sandwich003.jpg • Notice that both of these examples make the quote a part of a sentence the essay author wrote, and notice that both examples give credit to the source’s author.

  6. Quote Sandwich Practice • If you brought a possible source for Essay #1 with you today, choose a quote that you would like to respond to. Then, write a paragraph that includes the quote you chose in a quote sandwich. Remember, you need to INTRODUCE the quote by putting in in context, USE the quote with a correct in-text citation, and RESPOND to the quote by adding something new to the discussion. • If you did not bring a source, you must do this practice with one of the essays we have read as a class.
