Boy there sure are a lot of callbacks to last season in this show, almost like the glory days are behind us. At least there aren’t any guest stars making appearances or I’d be worried they’re totally out of ideas. 

Setting Up Quotes Callback
You may remember from way back in season one a little task called setting up quotes. You’re not imagining things, this doc is slightly different than last time. Today, you’re going to delve into the intricacies of setting up quotes with a partner.

Peer Critique Setting up Quotes
Today, you need to once again share your thesis (or a copy of it) with your partner. They are going to be trawling through all your quotations to see how you set them up. Follow the handout for specifics, but as always, here’s the gist:

Command+F
Have you used the find and replace function in Google Docs yet? You’re about to become intimately familiar. Use Command/Control + F and put a quotation mark (“) in the textbox. This will highlight where every single direct quote is hiding. 

Step 1: The Hunt
Leave a comment on each quote setup indicating what type of setup it is. Don’t hit comment just yet.

Step 2: The Kill
On that same comment, add a “yes” if their punctuation is correct for said quote, a “no” if not. 

Step 3: Signal Phrases
Now for the new part. Highlight out the signal phrase they used in their setup. Look at setting up quotes if you need more context.

Step 4: Safe Harbor
Return to your paper with what should be a seemingly impossible wall of comments on the right. Go through them and take note of the setups you used. Make a tally if you feel so inclined. Now, what are you going to do to improve your setups?

1. Do you need to vary your setups more?
2. Are you missing signal phrases?
3. What about the punctuation? Need to do some sleuthing to find out what’s wrong?
