Open Note
Summarize the "Statement of Dr. James Hansen" by emphasizing his main points (remember, use your own words: paraphrase). Then select one idea for "direct quotation" and correctly quote and cite it. After the quote, explain the importance or meaning of the idea you quoted.
NOTE: Remember that direct quotations use "special language" and generally do not contain facts, statistics, or information. We select language for direct quotation because we believe we must "interpret" it in a special way. To interpret it to explain it - to say more about it, to connect new ideas to it, to go deeper than the statement itself. In other words, the language of direct quotation is the most important language of a text, and we need to say why.
