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 revisen un texto creado por el maestro que incluya parafrasear y plagiar información. Dígales a los estudiantes que identifiquen las partes del texto que muestran parafraseo y las que muestran plagio.


Further Explanation

Este ejemplo de evaluación requiere que los estudiantes sepan identificar ejemplos de parafraseo y de plagio para poder demostrar que saben reconocer la diferencia entre ambas.

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