What should I quote?

Choose something that:

-Elicits feeling (answer, determination, excitement, frustration).

-Surprises you.

-You consider worth sharing.

-You disagree with or you agree with.

-You feel is wrong information.

-Is said in an unusual, catchy way.

-Is important for other people to know.

-You would like to talk or write about.

-Reminds you of a similar situation

Remember: Selecting a quotation does not mean finding a sentence with quotation marks. It means finding a full sentence or part of a sentence--with or without quotation marks-- that you copy word for word and attribute to the original writer.
