In chapter seven of They Say, I Say, the authors, Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein write about "The Art of Quoting" and how to use the source information in your own writing effectively. 

In this assignment, you'll  to this chapter and then use a template from chapter seven to revise your . The chapter starts on page 70 of the pdf linked below.

Please choose a section from your  and revise the sentences using strategies from this chapter. You can use a couple of templates from the "introducing quotations" section and the "explaining quotations" section. For example:

Old sentences: A quote by the author, Kavitha Cardoza, says that, "It’s not just the students who have to adjust to college; it’s a challenge for their families, too. For almost 20 percent of first-generation, low-income students, English is not a first language." This can be challenging. 

Revised using templates (underlined): Cardoza complicates matters further when she writes, It’s not just the students who have to adjust to college; it’s a challenge for their families, too. For almost 20 percent of first-generation, low-income students, English is not a first language." In other words, college culture shock does not only hit students, but the entire family as well. They literally don't speak the same language as the majority of people in college. This is a significant disconnect, not only in language but also in culture, traditions, and understanding of what college entails.
