After introducing to students how to paraphrase and quote, a good follow-up activity is to practice incorporating sources. The teacher should a position related to a current reading on the board: for example, if you are reading on the topic of the global warming, write the position: “Much evidence suggests that the earth’s climate is changing at a rapid rate.” Then have them look for quotes in the essay to support this position.


This exercise gives students hands-on understanding of the reason for and practice in integrating source material.
