Using Quotations

This is a useful handout that reminds the student of the PEEL/PEAL paragraph process and explains how to embed quotations in exam question responses. It highlights the difference between using a colon to introduce a quotation and embedding a quotation. This resource explains the purpose of using a quotation, lists some advice for using quotations, and explains how to begin embedding a quotation by using a ‘signal phrase’. At the end is a handy word bank to aid the fluid embedding of quotations.

Designed with GCSE students in mind, this resource is fantastic for introducing how to use quotations, exploring the different ways these can be integrated in exam question responses, and as a revision tool to aid with structuring writing.
