The University of Pittsburgh's Writing Center will host its next International Cafe session on November 17, on the topic if "Using Quotations to Generate Ideas." International Cafe workshops are designed to "tackle some of the difficulties of writing and using English as a non-native speaker."
Supporting our ideas; providing evidence; stating an opponent's position---these are all some uses of quotations in our writing. But did you know that you can use quotations to generate new ideas for your essays? No matter what stage of the writing process you're in, come to this active workshop to learn and practice techniques for productively interacting with quotations. You're encouraged to bring a text you are currently writing about to use during the workshop.The series runs from 3:30 to 4:30 pm in the Writing Center, located at 317B O'Hara Student Center (map). It is free and open to Pitt students.
