Before you include a quotation in your essay, ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n

Which point of mine does the quotation support?<\/span>
\nWhy should the passage be quoted rather than paraphrased or summarized?<\/span>
\nWhat do my readers need to know about the quotation\u2019s author?<\/span><\/p>\n

As you integrate quotations into your draft, ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u039f\u00a0 Have I sufficiently introduced the quotation with a phrase or sentence?<\/span>
\n\u039f\u00a0 Will my readers know whom I am quoting and why?<\/span>
\n\u039f\u00a0 Does the quotation fit smoothly into my own sentence?<\/span><\/p>\n

As you revise your work, ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u039f\u00a0 Have I strung together too many quotations?<\/span>
\n\u039f\u00a0 Have I used long quotations sparingly?<\/span>
\n\u039f\u00a0 Have I used quotation marks properly and documented each quote?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
