What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose an exact quote and restate a research finding in their own words. They credit each source and explain how both support a claim in their writing.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student places a short, exact quote in quotation marks and names its source. They summarize another finding in fresh wording, credit that source, and explain how both support their claim.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may change a few words from a source and call it a summary. They may also use quotation marks but omit the source, or add evidence without explaining how it supports their claim.
How to Assess It
- Give students two short, labeled excerpts about Silk Road trade. Ask them to write three sentences on how trade changed cities, using one credited quote and one credited summary.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs printed source excerpts and highlighters; have them mark one quote and one finding, then write a paragraph crediting each source.
Display two sample paragraphs and ask: Which one copies source wording without credit, and how would you fix it?
Play citation repair: hand out four sentences with missing quotation marks or source names, and have teams fix them on mini whiteboards.
Bring a local news article about a community issue; students write a three-sentence recap with one credited quote and one credited summary.
