How to use this sheet
- Have the student write the research question first and keep it at the top of the page.
- For each source, have the student check who wrote it, when, and why.
- Have the student paraphrase a passage, then compare it with the original to check it is in their own words.
Common mistakes
- Changing a few words and calling it a paraphrase. A paraphrase uses new words and a new sentence structure.
- Trusting a source because it looks professional. Check the author and the date.
- Leaving out the source of a fact or a quote.
