integrating quotations
Integrate Quotations from Outside Sources - from Dennis G. Jerz, who writes:
Spend fewer words introducing your sources, and devote more words to expressing and developing your own ideas in ways that use shorter quotations, or even just a few words, from your outside sources. LINK to examples and more info.
Quotations of 4 or more lines are considered long, and must be indented in MLA style (2 tabs).

Barthes citation and your roughs
Some of you have given me a writing sample for review. If anyone else
has something they'd like me to look at, you have by 6pm on Saturday to
submit by email, and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.
This would be something like a rough draft, as your essay submitted on
Monday should be a finished, revised piece. Have your friends and dorm
mates read over it for understanding and typos. Even if they haven't
been to Armory Square or visited the website, can they learn something
from your piece?
DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW THE LENGTH (3-4 PAGES)
and formatting requirements from the handout.
Since you will be citing Barthes, you will need to know the information
about the edition of the photocopy I gave you in order to do the MLA
style.
Barthes, Roland. "The Blue Guide." Mythologies. 1957. Trans. Annette
Lavers. 1972. Ed. New York: Hill and Wang, 2001. 74-77.

Armory Square on the internet
The goal of the first essay assignment is to analyze the contradictions between real places and their representations. The goal is not to critique Armory Square as a place (it's sooo quiet), or to critique the websites for being badly designed or inaccurate (I couldn't find any useful information). To do this, you will need to focus on giving us EVIDENCE:
When you reference the website, quote directly from their images and their copy (written text). Tell me what you are looking at. Is it a picture of a fresh salmon steak? Describe it. Then explain why you think it is on the website and why it's important to your IDEA. You will use formal citations in MLA style to quote a website.
When you reference your visits to Armory Square, specify which street you were on, what building you were standing in front of, what time it was, what kind of people were there, the smells in the air, the sounds of the city, if it was raining and people had umbrellas. Take us there!
Some of you may have discovered that there are other materials about Armory Square on the web and links to other websites. These include:
http://www.armorysquare.com
and
http://www.syracuse.ny.us/armorySquare.asp
and websites for individual businesses, such as the Landmark Theater LINK
You may reference other websites about Armory Square only if you are making a comparison or setting up a contrast. The purpose of this essay is to set up a focused analysis, not a sweeping review.
