Office Hours: The 3-Sentence Quotation Assignment

At CenterForLit, we are always encouraging our students to “support their argument with examples from the text.” But for those who have never had to incorporate textual evidence in their writing, the demand may sound intimidating. Not to fear! Like most things, it’s a piece of cake once someone shows you how to do it. The 3-Sentence-Quotation is a form ubiquitous to academic writing, and it can easily be taught. With this handy tool, your students will be making sound literary arguments like a pro in no time!
