Work Period: The Quote Sandwich
In your notebook, please draw the image of a sandwich on a bun!
Introduce It! Quote It! Explain It!
The Quote Sandwich
Guidelines for Quotations:
To ensure that your reader fully understands how the quote you are using supports your thesis, you must smoothly incorporate the quote into your paragraph; otherwise, your reader maybe left unsure of why you used the quote. The “quote sandwich” is a method, similar to PIE, that aides you in effectively adding quotes. See below for a further explanation.
Introduce It!
Before adding in your quote introduce it with a signal
phrase and a reporting verb (See the following page for some examples).
Ex: Robin Lakoff argues that....

Quotation
After you have introduced your quote with a signal phrase or reporting verb add in your quote! Ex: Robin Lakoff argues that “[c]ultural bias was built into the language we were allowed to speak about, and the ways were spoken of” (152).

Explain It!
Now that you’ve added in your quote, explain why the quote is
important. What do you think it means? How does it connect with your thesis? (Your explanation should be at least as long, or longer that the quote itself)

Introducing Quotations1
To guarantee that your reader clearly follows your writing, you should introduce your quotes with a signal phrase, reporting verb, or both (as shown in the quote sandwich) rather than simply plopping the quote down. If you add in a quote without any sort of introduction, your reader may not understand how the quote connects to your paragraph, even if it makes sense to you (think of it as similar to a random thought in a conversation).
Below are examples of signal phrases and reporting verbs that you can use to introduce your quotes:

For Example:
Dwight Bolinger notes that “in a society where women and farmers are regarded as inferior, sex differences and occupational differences become class differences” (99).
Malcolm X writes, “I was so fascinated that I went on- I copied the dictionary’s next page. And the same experience came when I studied that. With every succeeding page, I also learned of people and places and events from history” (89).
Elizabeth Wong comments “The language was a source of embarrassment. More times than not, I had tried to dissociate myself from the nagging, loud voice that followed me wherever I wandered in the nearby American supermarket outside Chinatown” (291).

Punctuating Quotes
In addition to incorporating quotes with the quote sandwich, and introducing them with signal phrases and reporting verbs, there are a few punctuation rules to keep in mind.
The first time you reference an article (or other text) you need to give the name(s) of the author(s), the title of the article, and the name of the magazine or book (if you know it).
Introduce the Author
The first time you use a quote from an article, you need to use the author’s first and last name. (The next time you use a quote from that author, only use the last name.)
How to Punctuate Titles
Put the names of articles, essays, poems, essays, and chapters in quotation marks:
“Talking Like a Lady” “Dialect”
“Mother Tongue” “Black Hair”
Underline or italicize the titles of books, movies, magazines, newspapers, periodicals, and musical albums:
