Integrating Quotes Practice
The roles of archivists, librarians and curators are evolving from being a collector and preserver to a publisher of
all of the world’s memory. – Joris Pekel, pg 10
Democratic institutions and operating models including the aggregative election-based representative models have
been adopted over the past centuries not because they represent perfection or a utopian ideal of the democratic
principle, but simply because they have been considered good enough with the means available. Or, from a more
cynical angle, they have been adopted simply because they have suited the needs of the few in charge. – Joonas
Pekkanen, pg 15
Those of us working on giving people freedom—of giving them power over their computers, their knowledge, their
ideas, their data—have a much easier time joining forces than many of the industrial dinosaurs. – Karsten Gerloff,
pg 29
In modern times, the industrialisation of the human soul has gone a long way owing to (social) science’s
marginalisation of the human experience and the creative human impulse. If it is to claim relevance in our
transitional era, the academy must develop a more sensitive ethic, recognising the embodied unity of humanity,
nature and technology. Human beings are radically real, enactive, embodied and holistic: technologies for better
life and wellbeing cannot be achieve before we have a more human-centric and open approach to technology. - Ossi
Kuittinen, pg 118
Choose a quote from above to write each of the three sentences below. Include the MLA in-text citation.
1) Write a sentence that introduces and incorporates one entire quote. Indicate how the quote is being used in
the way you introduce it: are you responding to it, agreeing with it, using it to support your idea?
2) Write a sentence that includes a signal phrase and uses a portion of a quote. Use the quote to rebut or
complicate the author’s ideas.
3) Write a sentence that does NOT use a signal phrase and uses a portion of a quote. Use the quote to illustrate an
important concept.
Now, create a works cited page for the three sources you used on the reverse. Pay attention to formatting and include
the “works cited” page title and pay attention to italics (you can indicate this with an underline), indents, and
alphabetizing rules.
