These two quotations are the beginning of my large revision process. My free draft had evidence but no supporting quotes. This made it easy to go in and find quotes that would solidify my evidence and overall strengthen my paper. This is the main step in my revision process. To add quotes I used the ‘sandwich’ technique from “They Say, I Say”. This means a introduced my quote, put in the quote, and then followed up my quote and connected it to my essay. Using this technique I have been able to increase the quality of my essay.
