The document provides guidance on incorporating quotes into essays. It explains that quotes should be woven into the writer's own sentences and should only include the most relevant parts. It demonstrates using short quotes and altering quotes to fit within sentences. The document also provides an example of using a quote within a paragraph response to illustrate a specific topic.
These do not necessarily make sense out of context, but if you were paying attention in class, this should stir some memories of what we talked about and hopefully give you some good ideas!
Lord of the flies - suggested watching. The 1963 film, despite being old fashioned, actually follows the book much more closely than the 1990 film. See the YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE2RL3fupms

I took the LOTF Jeopardy Review from hmfowler and tweaked it to only cover Chapters 1-6. Thanks hmfowler!
This jeopardy game has been used successfully at the high school level to review Chapters 1-6 of Lord of the Flies by William Golding. The students loved it. It really helped them to retain the information.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Incorporating (“Weaving”) Quotes
1. Choose only the most relevant passage from a
sentence or sentences.
2. “Weave” them into your own writing.
3. Example
While it initially serves as camouflage, the boy’s
painted faces become symbols for masking the evil
that they do. When the boys paint their faces, they
are able to do things that they would never do
normally.
“He capered toward Bill, and the mask was a thing
on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from
shame and self-consciousness.” (Golding 64)
4. Example (cont.)
I incorporated just the piece of
the passage I needed, and I
“wove” it into my own
sentence.
Put citation after quote
(or at end of sentence if
quote is within
sentence). Citation
should include author’s
last name and page
number in parentheses
with the period AFTER
the parentheses.
While it initially serves as camouflage, the boy’s
painted faces become symbols for masking the evil
that they do. When the boys paint their faces, they
are able to do things that they would never do
normally. When Jack wears his mask, he is
“liberated from shame and self-consciousness”
(Golding 64).
5. Practice
The sow’s head, the Lord of the Flies, becomes a
symbol for the evil within all human beings. In
fact, the Lord of the Flies is described with dark
images.
“Simon found he was looking into a vast mouth.
There was blackness within, a blackness that
spread.” (Golding 144)
6. Altering Quotes So They Fit Your
Essay
1. Use ellipses (…) to indicate that something has
been omitted from the quote.
2. Use brackets ([ ]) to replace a word/phrase and add
a word/phrase to a quote.
7. Example
Not knowing that the beast is actually a dead
paratrooper, it fuels the boys’ fear, resulting in
terrible things. When Ralph, Jack, and Roger climb
the mountain to search for the beast, they are
unable to distinguish that it is just a man in the
dark.
“Behind them the sliver of moon had drawn clear of
the horizon. Before them, something like a great
ape was sitting asleep with its head between its
knees. Then the wind roared in the forest, there
was confusion in the darkness, and the creature
lifted its head, holding toward them the ruin of a
face.” (Golding 123)
8. Example (cont.)
Not knowing that the beast is actually a dead
paratrooper, it fuels the boys’ fear, resulting in
terrible things. When Ralph, Jack, and Roger climb
the mountain to search for the beast, they are
unable to distinguish that it is just a man in the
dark. When the wind picks up and lifts the
paratroopers lifeless body, the boys believe it is “the
creature lifted its head, holding toward them the
ruin of a face” (Golding 123).
9. Not knowing that the beast is actually a dead
paratrooper, it fuels the boys’ fear, resulting in
terrible things. When Ralph, Jack, and Roger climb
the mountain to search for the beast, they are
unable to distinguish that it is just a man in the
dark. When the wind picks up and lifts the
paratroopers lifeless body, the boys believe it is “the
creature [lifting] its head, holding toward them the
ruin of a face” (Golding 123).
Example (cont.)
To make the sentence clearer, I changed “lifted” to
“lifting” and put it in brackets. Now, it reads as a clearer
sentence.
10. Practice
Piggy’s glasses, now the main source of power on
the island, become the target of Jack’s ambitions,
and when he finally steals Piggy’s glasses, he “was
a chief now in truth” (Golding 168).
12. Question: Discuss one type of conflict found in
William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, using a specific
quote that illustrates this conflict.
Response:
Person versus self is a type of conflict found in
William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. This is seen
most frequently through the character of Ralph.
Throughout the novel, Ralph struggles with his
conscience as he decides how he will relate with
the other boys on the island. For instance, after
Ralph told the other boys Piggy’s name, Piggy is
hurt. As Ralph considers how to respond to Piggy,
he “[hovers] between the two courses of apology or
further insult” (Golding 25). It is this kind of internal
struggle that characterizes Ralph’s decision making
throughout his time on the island.
