Description
A winner of the Knight Award for Writing Exercises and Handouts, this work originates from English 1105, Writing and Sexual Politics: Sluts, Spinsters, and Drag Queens. This handout provides an advanced in-class lesson on using quotations to strengthen students' writing style as well as to provide evidence in an argumentative essay. The handout identifies four typical reasons for using quotations and provides examples of how to integrate them. There is also an exercise component that can be done either in-class or as homework, for students to do peer evaluations or to critique their own work. 5 page pdf
