Citing Sources Lesson - 6th Grade - Thurmont Middle SchoolMedia Center. 2nd Grade Citation Guide. Media Center / Citing Sources. It is important for students to give credit to resources they use when conducting research and completing projects, even in elementary school. The following list includes suggested guidelines for teaching students how to give proper credit to sources, which is broken down by grade level. A reference list should be placed in alphabetical order by the first word of your reference (but you should ignore words like “a,” “an,” or “the” if these are the first words). Make sure to proof read your references list and follow correct capitalization and punctuation. If no author is known for a magazine, encyclopedia, or Internet source, start the reference with the title. Students may also use Citation Machine, which is a free, online resource that will automatically generate a citation in a variety of formats (APA, MLA, Turabian, Chicago, etc.).

Grade 1: Author, Title. Examples: Gail Gibbons, The Fruit We Eat.Tigers. Grade 2: Examples: Gail Gibbons, The Fruit We Eat. Grades 3-4: Grade 5: Examples: Works Cited Gr 1 5. 1st Grade Citation Guide. K - 4 Citation Expectations - MMMUSD K-8 Citation Expectations. K - 4 Citation Expectations Note: These are minimal expectations for all students. The goal is to have all MMMUSD students using complete MLA format by the end of sixth grade. We expect website URLs to be listed for "tracking back" even though URLs are no longer required by MLA. If teachers in grades 3 and 4 wish to teach complete citations, they should use the MLA format including URLs. When online tools are used for creating citations, EasyBib is currently the recommended tool. Note: Yellow highlights indicate the change/increase in expectations from the preceding grade level.

Kindergarten & Grade 1 Essential Question: What type of material did you use, what is the title, who created it/who does it "belong" to? Expectation: Awareness of ownership - "belongs to" creator Books: Author Name and Title of Book (formatting flexible, title may be underlined when hand written or italicized when word processed)Example: Frost.

What do you normally do when you are talking to a person in English and you don’t know the word?

I guess you don’t tell the person ” OK, right, hold on! I am going to look it up on my mobile phone”. You might be tempted to do it, but know that the person you are talking to might lose interest in what you are saying. So, the thing to do would be Paraphrasing. How do we paraphrase?? There are some expressions you can use It’s A KIND OF house It’s THE OPPOSITE OF lazy It’s LIKE cleaning but… trying to explain what you want to say but using other words you know. That’s calle It’s SIMILAR TO book but..FOR EXAMPLE, you do this when It’s A SYNONYM OF..

It can also help to say “ It’s a noun, or an adjective…. “ If it’s an expression, you can also say “ It’s an expression and there are three words in it” Right, now we are ready to play the game. How we play the game: Paraphrase It (with a giveaway) | TheRoomMom. There are many reasons paraphrasing is important for school aged children. It enhances vocabulary. It forces students to change ideas into their own words, which confirms understanding. It builds a stronger memory when words have been changed into your own personal version. My students practiced paraphrasing this fall, so we would have a foundation for notetaking when we start the big research project in January. 3 Rules for Paraphrasing: Paraphrased words must be correct and make sense.Paraphrased words must be your own version (in your voice).Paraphrased words must say the same thing as the original phrase. If your child is having trouble with paraphrasing and notetaking, start by paraphrasing single words. Next, try replacing chunks of words.

Finally, break a paragraph into the main idea and 3-4 key details. Other Tips: Not every word can be changed. Sometimes the message from the original sentence stayed the same; sometimes it didn’t– just like the real telephone game. Like this: Teaching Kids to Paraphrase – Step 1 | Running on Fumes. A common fault among teachers (myself included in years in the not-so-distant past) is they assume kids know what plagiarism is . The students can recite the definition quite nicely. They are actually really good at reciting a lot of things on command.

However, they cannot identify it. Many students (and many adults for that matter) think you can change a word or two and the writing has become one’s own. A big part of teaching students how to do a research paper is teaching them how to paraphrase. We start off with the most basic step–identifying what plagiarism is and what it isn’t. Following are some screenshots of a PowerPoint I made on this topic for Learn Zillion. Actually, I lied. After we’ve read the original text together, I show them a sample “student” paraphrase. I then pass out highlighters, because everything is more fun with markers, right? After highlighting, it’s very clear that this has not been rewritten at all. And we highlight. Aasl13 Ask Create.
