12/4 and 12/5: Embedded Quotes

• First we talked about grading. My first question is going to be: Does it pass?
  
  5 Title page (student’s name, class name, instructor’s name, title of essay, date)
  10 Typed, Double Spaced, name and page #s at the bottom of each page
  10 Essay (6-10 pages, size 12 font, 1/2 inch margins)
  10 Works Cited (6+ sources actually USED) at the end of the paper. Alphabetized with hanging indents.
  10 Parenthetical Citation, used each time information or ideas come from another source. Citations are done correctly throughout, either parenthetically or by introducing the author in the text.
  10 Academic Journal, Magazine/News, Website, Personal Interview, and Book/Print sources are USED.
  5 Is the paper submitted to the dropbox in SCORE?
  __ This checklist/grading slip (online students copy and paste to the end of the essay)

Then we talked about blended or embedded quotes

• To make our papers sound better (and longer!) blend your quotes with your own sentence:
• Example
• Quote:
• "SOL tests assess guessing" (Holt).
• Blended quote
• Many tests don't actually test the skills they claim, like the "SOL tests [which] assess guessing" (Holt).
• ALSO, you should establish the source's CREDIBILITY:
• According to Ryan Holt, long-time educator and English department chair at Spotsylvania High School, Many tests don't actually test the skills they claim, like the "SOL tests [which] assess guessing."
• notice how I don't use parentheical citation: Email me the complete reason why and you'll get extra credit!!!
