Quote Bombs

Eliminating quote bombs by smoothly integrating quotations into the text of an essay was the subject of today's lesson. There were two handouts: a sheet on Introducing Quotations, with instruction on and examples of three ways to do so, and a worksheet requiring students to produce examples of each kind, with at least one MLA-formatted citation of a source. These were due at the end of the period.

Students submitted their revised thesis statements and outlines, which were stamped and returned.
