When Incorporating Sources Into Your Research Paper Avoid Simply Dropping In A Quotation Instead Frame The Use Of S 2 (43.88 KiB) Viewed 47 times
When incorporating sources into your research paper, avoid simply "dropping in a quotation." Instead, frame the use of sources with the three I's: Introduce, Integrate, and Interpret. 1. Introduce - Provide the claim or statement. 2. Integrate - Properly integrate the quotation into a sentence structure by using the correct introduction, punctuation, and citation: Method 1. whole; Method 2. partial; Method 3. paraphrase. 3. Interpret - Do not assume the reader knows why you included the quotation. Then explain how the quote supports the claim. In short, do more with incorporating sources. Take the time to treat them as honored guests. Directions: 1. In box 1, you will see a quotation with appropriate biographical information. 2. In box 2, use the method above to introduce-integrate-interpret the reference into your paragraph. For example, for Example 1 use the entire quote; for Example 2 use a part of the quote; for Example 3 paraphrase the quote. Box 1 Example 1 "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." Box 2: Use Method 1 Mark Twain, author
Box 1 Box 2: Use Method 2 Box 1 "Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same." Example 2 Box 2: Use Method 3 Example 3 Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights 22 "There are years that ask questions and years that answer." Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God
