Monday, October 31 ~ TIE method explained

Roots

• Sequ, secu, sue – Follow
• Simil, Simul – like, resembling
• Solus – alone 

Writing Instruction

• Journal 23A: Please record notes on the TIE Method.
• EQ: How can I incorporate quotes in a fluid way that uses the quote to build momentum rather than in a way that interrupts the text of my essay? 

TIE METHOD = Tag it, Introduce it, or Embed it.

• TAG: Tag the context to the end of the quote.
• Example: "Mr. Van Zyl [the Kommandant] was trying to be a smarty pants with the people in town," mentioned Doc during the visit (226).
• Introduce: Introduce the context of the quote to lead into the text.
• Example: During Peekay's visit, Doc mentioned some insight: "Mr. Van Zyl was trying to be a smarty pants with the people in town" (226).
• Embed: Embed the quote inside of the context sentence.  
• Example: Doc mentioned that the Kommandant was "trying to be a smarty pants with the people in town" to Peekay during their visit (226).

• Punctuation Notes: Notice in the Tag section that only part of the quote was used and that [the Kommandant] was added for clarity. You may add words for clarity within a quote by using the brackets too. Also, notice that the introduced quote can use a colon because the first sentence before the colon is a complete sentence. 
• Activity...Write a quote down and pass it around...only three methods to TIE it up now!
