What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use research findings to support a claim in their writing. They put borrowed words in quotation marks, summarize other findings in their own words, and cite both.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can write a paragraph about migration using one short quote and one accurate summary. A reader can tell which words came from the source and find the source for both findings.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think changing a few words makes a source sentence their own. They may put a quote in quotation marks but forget the citation, or cite a summary that still copies the source's wording.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: From today's migration article, write two sentences about a reason people moved. Quote a few words in one, summarize a finding in the other, and cite the article in both.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs printed migration articles and two colors of sticky notes; mark words to quote and findings to summarize, then draft a cited paragraph.
Project a sentence from a migration article beside a version with three swapped words; ask, 'Is the second sentence plagiarism? How would you fix it?'
Run a card sort of quoted, summarized, and copied sentences; students label each, then rewrite copied sentences and add citations.
Use a local flood map and its agency notes; students write a neighborhood alert with a quoted finding, a summary, and citations.
