First, a poem and an argument.

1.  Journal-  

Is there some issue in the world you care about?  What's a problem that really gets under your skin?  What bothers you about our society, college, city, schools, state?  What bothers you so much that it makes you angry?  Basically, what do you care about?

If you have to think about something a long, long time, no offense, but then you might not really care.  Why don't you care?

My plan

Topic:     Poets on Happiness—Lasting happiness.

Audience:  Y’all

Purpose:  To inform others what poets think about H and to persuade, softly that they are right.

Intro the idea happiness-  What is it?  Lasting.  

Intro the idea that artists/poets ideas are important.

Thesis-  What common thing do all these poets say?  What’s the theme?

Historically….Give examples from interviews, poems, from essays, 

Conclude by wrapping up the theme and recommend that readers practice what poets suggest.

Long Journal- Then, research.

Integrating Quotes into writing-

Rules:  

1.       My words should lead into the quote, end the quote, or surround the quote.  In other words, my own words are attached to what I’m quoting.

2.       My words and the quoted words complete a grammatically correct sentence.

3.       When I use a dialog tag like “she writes,” or “she says,” I use a comma to separate my words from the quote.

4.       Another way is to connect my words with a colon (:).

5.       Another way is for my words to just flow into the quote.  No punctuation is needed.

Examples

Topic:  AZ education possible budget bill.

1.       According to the editorial board of the Arizona Republic, “an anticipated 75 million cut to Arizona’s universities has been blown up to 104 million.”

It makes sense as a sentence; I used a comma because of the dialog tag that says who wrote it.

2.       The economy is in difficult times, and difficult decisions need to be made.  The state believes cutting is the best way, but some Republicans don’t:  “Jeff Dial, Steve Pierce, and Adam Driggs argued for increases in k-12 funding.”

Makes sense, used a colon.

Example:

The budget that Arizona is trying to pass is "based largely on its maltreatment of higher education;" in other words, the only cuts that are being made are cuts to universities and colleges that support our workforce.

No comma, flow.  Not capitalized because it isn't a sentence on it's own.

3.       Practice:  Same topic. 

Here is a quote:  “The community college districts in Arizona's three most populous counties — Maricopa, Pima and Pinal — would lose all their state allocations, a total of $19 million.”

Here are the ideas to attach to this quote:  You can use dialog tag, colon, or flow

Community colleges would face the end of state funding entirely.

There would be no funding at all for any of the community college districts.

Please integrate the quote into the ideas in a way that makes grammatical sense.
