Introduction
How was the previous lesson to you? This week, let us strengthen what you believe is true to others by adding
some exciting and challenging ingredients to your idea to be presented to others. What we exactly need are bits of
information that we borrowed from reliable source and add them up to ours. This way, our idea is stronger than ever
before. All it takes is for us to know some helpful phrases and know when to use them.
Discussion: Signal Phrases and Marker Verbs
These are some examples of signal phrases and maker verbs to introduce your quotes.

Before adding your quote introduce it with a signal phrase or a marker verb (see the marker verb handouts).
Citation!
Example: House Speaker Pantaleon D. Alvarez and Rep. Fredenil H. Castro of the Second District of Capiz explain …

Quotation + Citation!
After you have introduced your quote with a signal phrase or marker verb add in your quote.

Example: House Speaker Pantaleon D. Alvarez and Rep. Fredenil H. Castro of the Second District of Capiz explain that
“It is the policy of the state to ensure that the Filipino youth shall be taught to accept responsibility for their
words and deeds as early as possible, and not to unduly pamper them with impunity from the criminal
responsibility upon reaching the age of 9 years.”

Explain It

Now that you’ve added in your quote, explain why the quote is important. What do you think it means? How does it connect
to your topic sentence and thesis? (Your explanation should be at least as long, or longer that the quotation
itself.
Example: When a child before reaching the age of 9, he/she has already understood the consequences of committing
crime. Proper education and discipline are imprinted. One way to educate them is letting the children learn and
understand student’s handbook in school and abiding them will guide them to be law abiding citizen.
