Knowledge and Skills Statement

Inquiry and research: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student engages in both short-term and sustained recursive inquiry processes for a variety of purposes.

Pídales a los estudiantes que trabajen con un compañero para identificar parafraseo o plagio en un texto que el maestro ha creado y les ha compartido.


Further Explanation

Esta evaluación requiere que los estudiantes integren información obtenida en distintas fuentes de información en su propio escrito. Se espera que los estudiantes comprendan la diferencia entre parafrasear y plagiar información.

A key part of the research process is integrating information obtained from research material into one’s own writing. The ethical use of information requires that students identify the difference between plagiarism (presenting another author’s words or ideas as one’s own without credit) and paraphrasing (putting information from the source in one’s own words). Paraphrasing from a text restates the key information in a different way and changes the vocabulary, structure, and sometimes voice of the original.
