Quotation as Call-and-Response

Read “Online Learning, Personalized,” a 2011 NYTimes article by Somini Sengupta discussing the impact that Khan Academy videos are making on the way math is taught both in and out of school.

As you read, I’d like you to focus on the mechanics of quotation in this article. Highlight passages where Sengupta quotes or otherwise cites the views of other people. What (if anything) does she do when quoting someone for the first time? How does she change her phrasing when a person has been mentioned already?

How do these interview subjects help Sengupta to structure her article? (You may find this question easier to answer if you use different colors of highlighter to mark passages where Sengupta quotes and paraphrases each of her different sources.)

Paste answers in the comment section below. For this exercise, probably best that you wait to read what others have written until after you’ve posted your own ideas.
