Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Define plagiarism, paraphrasing, and direct quotation and explain how they differ
Identify correct in-text citation format when quoting or paraphrasing a source
Classify rewritten versions of a source passage as plagiarized, paraphrased, or quoted
Write an original paragraph that combines a paraphrase and a direct quote from a source without plagiarizing
Teaching tips
Work through the three rewritten versions of the sample news passage as a whole-class comparison before assigning independent practice — seeing plagiarism, paraphrase, and quotation side by side makes the distinction concrete.
The discussion questions on student excuses for plagiarizing work well as a warm or cool-down discussion once students have practiced the classification exercise.
Pair the independent practice passages with a class style guide or citation format reference since the file demonstrates one citation style without teaching citation mechanics in depth.

Source-based writing — practiced by rewriting a given passage as both a paraphrase and a direct quotation

Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does this resource teach students to tell plagiarism, paraphrasing, and quoting apart?
It rewrites the same short source passage three separate ways — as a close near-copy, a properly reworded paraphrase, and a direct quotation — each with citation shown, so students classify and compare them side by side before writing their own.
What kind of source material do the practice passages use?
A news article and a research-study summary serve as the source texts students paraphrase, quote, and classify, giving practice with nonfiction academic-style writing rather than fiction.
