Embedded Evidence Rewrite
Prompt
Rewrite each dropped-quote sentence as an embedded-quote sentence using the quote-sandwich pattern from G7-fall. (1) 'Angelou writes: "The silence was thick." This shows silence is heavy.' (2) 'Cisneros writes: "My great-grandmother. A wild horse of a woman." This shows respect.' (3) 'Park writes: "The shard was the work." This shows dedication.'

3 rewrites + all use signal-phrase + quote + parenthetical + interpretive sentence = mastery
Hints
- Signal-phrase introduces the quote.
- Interpretive sentence is the ANALYTIC work — not a restatement.
Misconceptions to watch
- Rewrite still drops the quote.
- Interpretive sentence repeats the quote in different words.
