Understanding how to use quotations

A lot of students have difficulty using quotes, knowing how to insert them, how to analyze them, how to build "quotation sandwiches," so to speak.

Two things have occurred to me:

First, I would like to have spent more time in They Say/I Say and given them practice with templates.

Second, and this might have been more practical, I would like to have spent time looking at Pinker's text and studied how he used quotations and sources. That would give students a model for how they can use quotes in their own papers.
