5. How to Select Good Quotations:
Quotes are an important part of your essay as they prove each of your points.
You will need to find 3 short quotes
1 quote per PPEC Paragraph
Copy them carefully (verbatim)
onto your sheets and write the
citation (Wyndham page#).

6. Good Quotes Continued When choosing a quote, make sure it:
supports the main idea (point) of the paragraph
is punchy and direct, even dramatic
is relatively short and to the point
does not state the obvious
this allows you to make links and connections in your explanation to your point and to your thesis and get better analysis marks
