Sort a source note’s status

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil, or a browser text area. All named people/events/records are fictional learning inputs.
• Worked case: Excerpt A: Available records name the frame and hinge materials. Question: Which materials form those two parts? Excerpt B: Source: The frame is cardboard. Note: "The frame is cardboard"—Fictional Model Club. Excerpt C: Citation: Model Club, Paper Model Notes, 2026, section 2. Analyze Model Club. Excerpt D: Two models have different materials. The audience needs each model and its frame/hinge materials beside one another.
• Primary check: Excerpt A: Two short material lists are available. Question: What is the complete history of engineering everywhere? Excerpt B: Source: The frame is cardboard. Note: The club reports a cardboard frame. Excerpt C: Citation: Jo Lee, Fold Test Log, 2025, p. 7. Analyze Fold Test Log. Excerpt D: The audience asks where the hinge sits between the panels, so show its position and names.

Learn the idea

Quotation preserves exact source words; paraphrase restates a source in new wording; interpretation adds the writer’s reasoning; a locator identifies where to find the source. Distinguish all four.

Use the explicit source-note label and compare wording when available. Keep quotation marks and source details attached to borrowed material.

Original worked input: Original excerpt B: Source: The frame is cardboard. Note: "The frame is cardboard"—Fictional Model Club. The task is to sort a source note’s status. The answer is “exact quotation”. Evidence: Source: The frame is cardboard. Note: "The frame is cardboard"—Fictional Model Club. Reasoning: exact quotation is supported because exact source wording is retained inside quotation marks and credited. A locator is not itself a factual finding.

1. Read the supplied worked case and identify the part named in this lesson. An adult can model unfamiliar words.
2. Use the explicit source-note label and compare wording when available. Keep quotation marks and source details attached to borrowed material.
3. Check the worked solution: exact quotation. Evidence: Source: The frame is cardboard. Note: "The frame is cardboard"—Fictional Model Club. Reasoning: exact quotation is supported because exact source wording is retained inside quotation marks and credited. A locator is not itself a factual finding.
4. Use the new primary and practice cases. Give a reason from the actual words before checking the feedback.

Changed-input task: Original excerpt B: Source records four bends. Note: My interpretation is that this result warrants another test, not a durability guarantee. Give an evidence-based answer before looking at the model. Expected reasoning: Evidence: Source records four bends. Note: My interpretation is that this result warrants another test, not a durability guarantee. Reasoning: writer’s own interpretation is supported because a proposed judgment is identified as the writer’s interpretation, not an observed source result. A locator is not itself a factual finding. Then write a brief alternative sentence, paragraph, source note or scene that demonstrates the same operation; label new fictional details and preserve source limits.
