This workshop is designed to help you write clearly, accurately and effectively in both an academic and a professional environment. In class, we analyze various forms of writing and address problems common to advanced speakers of English. We will often read one another’s work.

In this video you will learn about the differences between in-text citations and oral citations. In addition, we will cover the four criteria of citing sources orally. Please watch the Citing Sources Orally video (2 min. 36 sec.) below.  Closed captions in English are available. Recorded with Adobe Spark.  Citing Sources Orally 

With so much information at our fingertips, students learn what it means to "give credit" when using content they find online. Taking on the role of a detective, students learn why it's important to give credit and the right ways to do it when they use words, images, or ideas that belong to others.

In this introduction to plagiarism and good digital citizenship, second graders are encouraged to give credit to people whose work they reference when doing projects.

Although written for second grade, this lesson could be easily adapted to upper primary and even middle school levels.
