It doesnt have to be 275 words There is not a specific word count
Read the article and download it.( I have attached the specific article that needs to be used)
Then, you will practice integrating a quote. This involves doing four things:
Leading into the quote. (make a claim about the reading, which is basically your opinion about what you’ve read)
Provide a signal phrase (a signal phrase means write where the information is orginating ) For example: According to Stewart (2018), Stewart is the author and 2018 is the year it was written. Then, provide a quotation. At the end of the quotation, please provide a parenthetical reference. (para. 3). In the parenthetisis is the paragraph that is quoted.
Discussing the quote. (Explain the quotation. What is the quote saying)
Connecting the quote to a larger purpose within a paragraph or an essay. (Critically explain why the quotation is important by comparing, contrasting, showing cause or effect, evaluating or judging. For this response you are coming to a conclusion)
Follow this example:
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.
Let’s break this down:
1. Leading into the quote ( make a claim)
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
(use a signal phrase, “provide a quotation here” (paragraph number).
Stewart (2018) reported, “For all his bluster about trade wars, President Trump seems willing to push China only so far ” (p

ara. 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. (Explain the quotation)
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.
