Unit 8: Quoting

Use quotations

  • when you want to use a key (memorable) phrase

  • when you want to comment on someone else’s view and it is important to use their exact words

  • to develop / support your own argument

An example of a memorable phrase would be:


‘A rose by any other name’ - William Shakespeare

‘The selfish gene’ – Richard Dawkins
