What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use research findings to support their writing. They quote exact words with quotation marks, summarize findings in their own words, and credit the source for both.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can support a claim with an accurate quote and a brief summary from a source. They use quotation marks for copied words and cite the author and title for each borrowed idea.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think changing a few words makes a copied sentence their own. Some cite quotes but leave summaries uncited, or put quotation marks around words they have paraphrased.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Give students a card marked Chen, City Bus Survey, with two lines: '62% of riders want later buses' and '40% have missed an evening bus.' Ask for two sentences that quote one line, summarize the other, and credit Chen for both.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give students a printed city bus survey by Chen; they highlight a finding, write a summary, and quote a line with source credits.
Show two rewrites of a bus survey sentence, one with swapped words; ask partners which is a true summary and why both need credit.
Run a citation repair race: hand pairs four sentences with missing quotation marks or source names and have them fix each one.
Draft a school board email about bus schedules using a cited quote and cited summary from a provided rider survey.
