Discussion 12 Answer
Quotations are essential in reinforcing ideas in essays. There are several ways to integrate quotations in writing. Based on the class material, one way to do this is by blending quotations into the student’s work. This means properly introducing the context of the quote to support the claim of the writer. It is essential to do this step because using the quotation as a stand-alone could confuse the reader. The reader might be wondering what the quotation is doing in the writing. Therefore, it is essential to properly introduce the quotation in writing to transition each quotation logically into the sentence.
