Using the below paragraph, you are to paraphrase the paragraph and then rewrite the paragraph. Determine if you need an in-text citation and, if so, where it should go.

Please note that the paragraph is a direct quote. It is also a long direct quote so it has to be formatted differently. Any quote that is more than four lines has to be written as a block quote. This simply means that you indent the entire quote so that it sits alone (as I have done below).

In Savage Inequalities, he notes that:

Reading levels are the lowest in the poorest schools. In a survey of the 18 high schools with the highest rates of poverty within their student populations, Designs for Change, a research center in Chicago, notes that only 3.5 percent of students graduate and also read up to the national norm. Some 6,700 children enter ninth grade in these 18 schools each year. . . . Those very few who graduate and go to college rarely read well enough to handle college-level courses. At the cityÂ’s community colleges, which receive most of their students from ChicagoÂ’s public schools, the noncompletion rate is 97 percent. Of 35,000 students working towards degrees in the community colleges that serve Chicago, only 1,000 annually complete the program and receive degrees. (Kozol, 1991)
