Problem

Great work beginning this body paragraph, but remember the importance of utilizing a direction quotation here. How might you pick what quote to use? Let's talk a bit more about some of the issues that come with directly quoting. Many writers do quote far too often which I find to be absolutely a distraction. I prefer that you directly quote rarely because a direct quote alone doesn't really show me that you've understand the material. Paraphrasing is often what shows me your understanding.

When used properly a direct quotation can be very powerful. These are my suggestions (that teachers gave me when I was a student for when to directly quote: 1) when there is no way to reword or condense the information accurately; 2) when the author has stated an idea in a memorable and succinct fashion; 3) when the information is so surprising that a reader might question the accuracy of the paraphrase.
