Reminder
Bridgette's class - Journal #12 due Friday.

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?


Writing

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

• TAG: Tag the context to the end of the quote.
• Example: "Mr. Van Zyl [the Kommandant] was trying to be a smarty pants with the people in town," mentioned Doc during the visit (226).
• Introduce: Introduce the context of the quote to lead into the text.
• Example: During Peekay's visit, Doc mentioned some insight: "Mr. Van Zyl was trying to be a smarty pants with the people in town" (226).
• Embed: Embed the quote inside of the context sentence.  
• Example: Doc mentioned that the Kommandant was "trying to be a smarty pants with the people in town" to Peekay during their visit (226).

• Puctuation Notes: Notice in the Tag section that only part of the quote was used and that [the Kommandant] 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. 
• Activity...Write a quote down and pass it around...and TIE it up. Use all (3) methods.

Homework

• Read Chapter 13
• Journal 18 
• Record at least two quotes with context using one of the TIE methods.
