Problem: “One of the tough things for many students to grasp is how to weave sources into their own texts smoothly. Many simply drop a quotation into the text without any transition or introduction.”
Solution: The author uses NPR radio in which the text can be heard and read on the NPR Web site as a model for how to make the transition or introduction to a quote.
Comment: That problem—and it is a problem—can be resolved by calling attention to writers’ use of transitions or introduction to quotes in printed text. RayS.
