the paragraph
Directions:
This is your first project assignment. Your task is to take what you have learned about PIE paragraphs, formal writing and incorporating sources into writing and develop a strong paragraph.
You will be required to read an article and use information from the article to develop your paragraph, so make sure to read carefully.
Your paragraph should have:
- A clear point that is an opinion, not a fact.
- Information that is a quote from “Brainology” that is properly introduced and cited according to our Incorporating Quotes Worksheet.
- Explanation: An analysis/explanation of the quote you selected as information. Explain to the reader how your information proves your point.

Incorporating Quotes in Research Papers
First Time a Source is Used:
When you are using a source for the
first time
, you have to properly introduce the source in
order to make the information clear to the reader, avoid plagiarism and develop your own
credi
bility (ethos). Here is a check list to help you do that.
To correctly incorporate a quote, you must:
____
state the author’s name
____
establish the author’s credibility
____
name the title of the author’s text
____ include a completed sentence telling
readers what the author is doing
____In a new sentence,
us
e a verb to lead into the quoted passage
___ After the close of the quote, put the page number the quote was founded on in
parenthesis.
EXAMPLE
:
In her article “Warfare Is Only an Invention
—
Not
a Biological Necessity,†Margaret Mead, the
famous American cultural anthropologist,
makes an assertion about warfare. She claims
, “there
are peoples even t
oday who have no warfare†(417).
Consecutive Times a Source is Used:
Once you have introduced you
r source the first time, you do not need to include the full
introduction when using information from that same source. All you need to do is name the
author’s last name and provide the page number.
EXAMPLE:
Mead
attempted to raise “liberat
ed, nonviolent sons whose aggressive tendencies would be
mollified by a sensitivity and compassion†(17).
2
If you choose not to name the author in the beginning of the sentence, you need to
provide
his/her last name in the parenthesis along with the page number.
EXAMPLE:
One of the major causes of abuse is the use of alcohol or drugs
. In fact, “Alcohol is almost
always involved in family violence. Up to 80% of all cases involve drinking, whether before,
during or after the critical incident†(Somers 310).
Use
these
method
s
only
after you have already identified the author, author’s credibility,
and his or her text earlier in your paper.
