Recognize source-use integrity

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil, or a browser text area. All named people/events/records are fictional learning inputs.
• Worked case: Excerpt A: Source: The hinge tore after five bends. Draft: The club states, "The hinge tore after five bends" (Trial Card A, section 1). Excerpt B: Note: Paper folded between two cardboard panels allows the panels to turn. Excerpt C: A graph gives numbers 4, 5 and 6 but no label saying what quantity or unit they represent. Excerpt D: Question: What count does A record? Answer: Trial Card A records five bends.
• Primary check: Excerpt A: Source: The hinge tore after five bends. Draft: Trial Card A reports tearing following five complete folds. Excerpt B: Note: Trial A: five bends; Trial B: six bends; these are recorded observations. Excerpt C: Bars start at 4 rather than 0, but the axis has no break or visible scale explanation, exaggerating their apparent ratios. Excerpt D: Question: Will all hinges last a year? Answer: Our records cannot establish that; no year-long test exists.

Responsible source use distinguishes exact words, new-word paraphrase and the writer’s own analysis. A citation does not replace quotation marks for copied wording.

Compare source and draft wording, then inspect the supplied attribution. Name the actual condition.

Original worked input: Original excerpt A: Source: The hinge tore after five bends. Draft: The club states, "The hinge tore after five bends" (Trial Card A, section 1). The task is to recognize source-use integrity. The answer is “exact quotation properly marked and attributed”. Evidence: Source: The hinge tore after five bends. Draft: The club states, "The hinge tore after five bends" (Trial Card A, section 1). Reasoning: exact quotation properly marked and attributed is supported because marks retain the exact words and the attribution locates them. A few synonyms do not guarantee an independent paraphrase.

1. Read the supplied worked case and identify the part named in this lesson. An adult can model unfamiliar words.
2. Compare source and draft wording, then inspect the supplied attribution. Name the actual condition.
3. Check the worked solution: exact quotation properly marked and attributed. Evidence: Source: The hinge tore after five bends. Draft: The club states, "The hinge tore after five bends" (Trial Card A, section 1). Reasoning: exact quotation properly marked and attributed is supported because marks retain the exact words and the attribution locates them. A few synonyms do not guarantee an independent paraphrase.
4. Use the new primary and practice cases. Give a reason from the actual words before checking the feedback.

Changed-input task: Original excerpt A: Draft: I would compare the materials in another trial; I label this as a proposal rather than a source result. Give an evidence-based answer before looking at the model. Expected reasoning: Evidence: Draft: I would compare the materials in another trial; I label this as a proposal rather than a source result. Reasoning: original analysis distinguished from source is supported because the writer labels a new proposed trial as their own analysis. A few synonyms do not guarantee an independent paraphrase. Then write a brief alternative sentence, paragraph, source note or scene that demonstrates the same operation; label new fictional details and preserve source limits.
