Quoting (1 Viewer)

hello

is basing you're paragraph on one fairly long quote (i.e. 1-2 sentences) better than interjecting small, short quotes each with their own technique/ effect?

Not really. You want to be using the strongest examples you can, which mostly likely, won't fall within the same 1-2 lines. Also, quoting that much ruins your paragraph structure.

i think i will change my structure, but when i did use 1 or so sentences, the technique/ effect stuff were of greater depth

Extra context doesn't necessarily making in more in depth. Just pick out the most important parts.

Isn't it better to embed your quotes within your sentences? Like short, effective ones?

well that's what i originally thought, though my english teacher would advocate 1-2 sentence long quotes.

but i've been reading exemplar examples lately, and for every module, short quotes are just interjected throughout, so...

Yes, it is. Small, efficient quotes are the way to go.

Definitely short quotes. Try to integrate them and make them flow in your paragraphs. That way it sounds more succinct. Also, don't be afraid to quote one word. It's also much better in exam as you dont have to remember long quotes which usually ends up wrong. Goodluck!
