Objectives for the day . . .

We will be able to effectively use a direct quotation to support our claim from the reading.

Let’s recall . . .Tell the person across from you what we talked about last class.

What did you learn? Think about the video we watched, as well as the handout I gave you.

Use your notes to help you.Be ready to share in a few seconds.

Direct Quotation: What is it?

When you use the exact words of an author in your writing, you are directly quoting that writer.

In one of the most famous speeches of the 20th century, John F. Kennedy stated, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country (15).

Why do we need to cite sources?

To avoid plagiarism!

In addition . . . Citations reflect the careful and

thorough work you have put into locating and exploring your sources.

Citations allow you to acknowledge those authors who contributed to your learning and your work.

By citing sources, you demonstrate your integrity and skill as a responsible student.

Come get materials!“The Quote Sandwich” HandoutMake sure to get one for

each person in your table group.

Also, please excuse the typo in this handout.

Let’s split up the reading

Half of the class will read page two. The other half will read page three.

Make sure to read it thoroughly as you will need to teach someone from the other side of the room about what you learned from the page you read.

Read your assigned page silently to yourselves until further notice.

Time to move around!

Stand up and find someone from the opposite side of the room. Leave your handout behind.

Then, teach them about what you learned from the page you read.

Be ready to share when we come back together as a class!

Quote Sandwich Let’s turn to the first page of our

handout.

Example of a stale quote sandwich . . .

Bullying is a major problem around the world, not only in the United States. “The focus group interviews conducted suggest that students – particularly female students – view cyber bullying as a problem but one rarely discussed at school, and the students do not see the school district personnel as helpful resources for dealing with cyber bullying.” To me, this means that bullying needs to be put to an end.

Silently read Brad Tuttle’s article

“How to Ruin Thanksgiving, an Hour-by-Hour Guide for Shoppers”

Now let’s make our own quote

sandwiches! You will be working with your shoulder

partner. Add to your top bread piece.
