What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use research findings in their writing. They quote exact words when the wording matters and summarize other findings in their own words. They credit the source for both.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can work a short quote into a claim and explain what it shows. They can restate a finding without copying the source's phrasing and give credit for both uses.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think changing a few words makes a copied sentence their own. They may cite quotes but leave summaries uncited, or add a quote without explaining it.
How to Assess It
- Hand out a six-sentence Dust Bowl excerpt with its author and title. Ask for one sentence with an embedded quote and one with a summary, crediting the source in both.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs two printed Dust Bowl excerpts; have them highlight one quotable line, write a summary on a sticky note, and add source credit.
Project a source paragraph and a near-copy draft; ask, 'Which wording is borrowed, and how would you rewrite and credit it?'
Play 'Quote, Summary, or Copy': show three versions of a source sentence, have teams label each, then revise the copy with a citation.
Write a 60-word caption for a school hallway Dust Bowl display using a credited quote and a credited summary from a printed source.
