( “Refugees” by Trevor Rubenzer in Today’s Foreign Policy Issues: Democrats and Republicans). This paragraph should incorporate a quote from one of the refugee articles. Review the handout on paragraph structure with source use, the power point on quoting, and the MLA In-Text Citation Basics page – to successfully integrate a quote as support in a body paragraph.
After choosing a passage to quote, or finding a quote that connects to a point you want to make, create a PIES paragraph that successfully integrates paraphrase:
(P) Present point by creating a topic sentence that ‘connects’ to the quote in some way. In some sense the topic sentence can ‘echo’ the quote, but try to present a point that is ‘yours’.
(I) Immediately develop the idea by analyzing and explaining the idea (a few sentences).
(E) Engage the source -> provide an attribution sentence, integrate the quote, address the meaning/use.
(S) Summarize by closing out the paragraph with a return to your main idea and analysis (a few sentences).
Paragraph should be longer than a 1/2 page, have a properly integrated quote with proper attribution, and follow the PIES structure for full credit.
