*Remember, your essay must include one quote that you set up in your own words.  In other words, the entire sentence must not be in quotation marks.  Start the sentence with who said it or why it is important and then present the quote.  Print the quote out so we can create a Noodle Tools citation for it on Tuesday.  See Mrs. Smith if you have any questions.
