This handout presents some basic information about quoting source material for the persusive essay, including the placement of quotes within sentences and verbs used to introduce quotations. Following that, on the second page, there are some quotations which students can practice on. Although the handout does not mention any particular style, the examples on the first page follow APA format.
Discussing the differences between quotation and paraphrase might be a good way to lead into this activity and it would be helpful if students brought their sources to the class to practice with. It could also be a lot of fun to talk about the quotes and invite students to agree or disagree with them, providing their own backing for or against the claims contained within. We had a great time analyzing the Sugimoto quote in my class.
