Source Integration Assignment
To evaluate your understanding of MLA style documentation, you will practice integrating a source into
a paragraph. For this assignment, please write one developed paragraph (about 7-10 sentences) about
technology. Choose at least one passage from the Turkle essay and integrate this passage into your
paragraph as a quotation.
For this assignment, you will need to use a signal phrase and an in-text citation when you integrate the
source into your paragraph. Please review the assigned reading in the handbook and the mini-lecture on
MLA documentation for more information about using the in-text citation and the signal phrase
appropriately.
Remember that you must use a quotation to help you support and inform your discussions. Thus, you
may not simply choose any quote and drop it into your paragraph. Work to make a clear connection
between your discussion and the quotation.

This assignment is worth 15 points. You will be graded on the following:
The paragraph is clear and developed.
The paragraph is free of distracting mechanical errors.
The quotation supports the paragraph’s discussion.
