Tuesday 10/20/15 ~ How do you "TIE" a quote into the text?

MEMORIZE
Matthew 5:2-12
and He began to teach them, saying:

³Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

⁵Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

⁶Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,

for they will be filled.

⁷Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.

Discuss Ch.10
Journal 20A: Please record notes on the TIE Method.

• EQ: How can I incorporate quotes in a fluid way that uses the quote to build momentum rather than in a way that interrupts the text of my essay? 

TIE METHOD = Tag it, Introduce it, or Embed it.

TAG: Tag the context to the end of the quote.

• Example: "[Elias] blurted, 'Let's pray together'" when he met the defensive Responsible, because he knew that he could not reason with someone in such an emotional state (155). 

INTRODUCE: Introduce the context of the quote to lead into the text.

• Example: Elias shows his reliance on spiritual means to convince the Responsible when he prays rather than discusses: "Where I got the nerve I hardly knew, but I blurted, 'Let's pray together'" (155).

EMBED: Embed the quote within the context sentence.

• Example: When Elias writes about meeting the Responsible he explains, "Where I got the nerve I hardly knew, but I blurted, 'Let's pray together'," showing that he relied on spiritual methods to change the situation rather than his own logical reasoning (155). 

*Puctuation Notes: Notice in the Tag section that only part of the quote was used and that [Elias] was added for clarity. You may add words for clarity within a quote by using the brackets too. Also, notice that the introduced quote can use a colon because the first sentence before the colon is a complete sentence.

Practice: Journal 20B: Write a paragraph response to one of the three questions below. Please include a quote using the TIE method.

• How did Elias gain the authority to speak into the lives of people in town. 
• What word would you use to describe the way that Chacour deals with the Responsible throughout Ch.10? Is this the wisest way to deal with him? 
• Why do you believe Elias is willing to take such high social risks in his work with the people of Ibillin?

the Knesset in Jerusalem, Israel

HW: Journal 21 (Due Block): Read Ch. 11 and write a paragraph using the TIE method to include at least two quotes in the answer to ONE of these questions below. 

• What kinds of risks are implied for Elias in his choice to lead a march to the Knesset (Israel's legislature located in its capitol, Jerusalem)?
• How has Elias changed in Chapter 11? 
• Why does Bishop Raya refuse to lead the march? How is he correct? 
• Do you believe the march was successful?
