demonstrate how interwoven the two countries are, much to the damage of the United States’ economy.
  • To complete this Performance Task, you will need to log on to the Keiser Online Library, as instructed in the previous segment of this learning module.
    • You are going to find a specific article, download a PDF of the article, and integrate a quote from the article.
    • Once you are in the Library, locate the Opposing Viewpoints in Context
      • From the Library home page, click on “Select a Database From The List”.
      • Scroll down to Opposing Viewpoints in Context (Gale). The database list is in alphabetical order.
      • Once Opposing Viewpoints is selected, click “Go”. The databse will open in a new tab.
    • Perform an Advanced Search using the following criteria:
      • Author: Stewart
      • Keyword: trade wars
      • Click on “Full Text Documents“
      • Search after June 1st 2018
    • The following video will guide you through the assignment:
    • Read the article and download it.
    • Then, you will practice integrating a quote. This involves doing four things:
      1. Leading into the quote.
      2. “Tagging” the quote, quoting, and citing.
      3. Discussing the quote.
      4. Connecting the quote to a larger purpose within a paragraph or an essay.
  1. Follow this example:
  2. Many politiicans talk tough on China, but none seem to take steps necessary to sever America’s ties with the state. Stewart (2018) reported, “For all his bluster about trade wars, President Trump seems willing to push China only so far ” (para. 1). As Stewart noted, even President Trump was reluctant to go as far as was needed against China. All of this demonstrates how interwoven the two countries are, much to the damage of the United States’ economy.
  3. Let’s break this down:
1. Leading into the quote Many politiicans talk tough on China, but none seem to take steps necessary to sever America’s ties with the state. Here, the reader is orientated to the topic of the quote.
2. “Tagging” the quote, quoting, and citing Stewart (2018) reported, “For all his bluster about trade wars, President Trump seems willing to push China only so far ” (para. 1). Here, the author “tags” the quote (i.e. Stewart reported). Note the past tense, reported. Additionally, the year always follows the author in APA.

The sentence is fully quoted.

The author includes an in-text citation (para. 1) for where the quote is found in the text.

Note: Direct quotes always need page numbers. If no page number is available, such as on a webpage, then cite the paragraph number. Yes, this requires you to count paragraphs at times.
3. Discussing the quote. As Stewart noted, even President Trump was reluctant to go as far as was needed against China. The author transitions out of the quote with “As Steward noted.” Help bridge the idea from the quote to your discussion of it.
4. Connecting the quote to a larger purpose within a paragraph or an essay. All of this demonstrates how interwoven the two countries are, much to the damage of the United States’ economy. End your quote integration by connecting this to a larger point. Use the quote to support what you are saying in the paragraph or in the essay. Evidently, here, the author is trying to argue how China damages the US economy.
