  1. Paraphrasing vs. Plagiarize What’s the difference? Materials: Whiteboards, markers, and erasers

  2. Paraphrasing is not… • Cutting and pasting. • Mixing up the words in a different order. • Writing a sentence directly from the book. • Trying to write a fact from memory even if you’re not looking at the website. • What are these? Plagiarism!

  3. Consequences for plagiarism? • See bottom or your rubric. ***Any plagiarism will either result in percentage off of the paper, or a trip to Miss Uy’s office for cheating. • So… how do we paraphrase?

  4. Steps to Paraphrase • Look at multiple sources for information. • Jot down a word or two (but no full phrases.) • Put the book or website away. • Summarize out loud to your parent or to the wall what you remember. • THEN, grab your pencil to write down what you remember.

  5. What if I don’t know what a word means? Or how to say it? • Then don’t put it in your writing. If you don’t know what it means, or how to use it, find a synonym that you DO know. • When your teacher reads your writing, they know your vocabulary, and will spot any words that a normal 4th grader doesn’t know.

  6. 1. Let’s practice… • Say our key question is that we want to know how the unique shape of the hammerhead shark’s head helps the shark. • We’ll return to multiple sources that had some information about this fact… • We’re going to look at the National Geographic and Marine Bio. National Geographic and Marine Bio

  7. 2. National Geographic: • Their hammer shape also allows hammerheads to scan significantly larger areas of the bottom when hunting than other shark species. • Jot down a word or two on your whiteboard(but no full phrases.)

  8. 2. Marine Bio: • Hammerhead sharks are consummate predators that use their oddly shaped heads to improve their ability to find prey. • Jot down a word or two on your whiteboard (but no full phrases.)

  9. 3. Now we’ve put the book or website away. 4. Summarize out loud to your partner what you remember. 5. THEN, grab your pencil to write down what you remember.

  10. You may have gotten something like this… • Short Note: large area, find prey • Summarize to a partner: The hammerhead is an amazing animal that uses it’s interesting shaped head to find animals to eat. It can even look larger areas because it’s eyes are separated. • Fact in MY OWN WORDS: Hammerhead sharks use the eyes on either side of their head to look farther for food, and it helps them to find and devour prey. This gives them an advantage because they act like binoculars in the depths of the sea.

  11. Let’s see how we did? • Their WORDS: Their hammer shape also allows hammerheads to scan significantly larger areas of the bottom when hunting than other shark species. • MY WORDS: Hammerhead sharks use the eyes on either side of their head to look farther for food, and it helps them to find and devour prey. This gives them an advantage because they act like binoculars in the depths of the sea.

  12. Their WORDS: Hammerhead sharks are consummate predators that use their oddly shaped heads to improve their ability to find prey • MY WORDS: Hammerhead sharks use the eyes on either side of their head to look farther for food, and it helps them to find and devour prey. This gives them an advantage because they act like binoculars in the depths of the sea.

  13. So you see… • By • reading multiple sources • jotting down a word or two • putting the webpage away • and then summarizing, we’re prepared to write in our own very own words.

  14. Wanna practice on your own? 1. Look at multiple sources for information. • National Geographic: Their wide-set eyes give them a better visual range than most other sharks. And by spreading their highly specialized sensory organs over their wide, mallet-shaped head, they can more thoroughly scan the ocean for food. • Jot down a word or two

  15. Here’s our second source. 1. Look at multiple sources for information. • Marine Bio: Their "hammer-shaped" head is thought to have evolved to maximize the area of sensory organs such as the Ampullae of Lorenzini (special sensors in sharks' skin used to detect chemical, physical and thermal changes as well as the electrical fields of prey species, including those buried in the ocean bottom—certain fishes, rays, crustaceans, etc.). • Jot down a word or two

  16. Ready to Paraphrase?? 3. Put the book or website away. 4. Summarize out loud to a partner. 5. NOW, grab your marker to write down what you remember. Any volunteers to share their paraphrase?

  17. Remember… • Plagiarizing is NOT an option. It’s called cheating, and will receive consequences. Adults who plagiarize go to jail. • You are required to paraphrase every sentence of your writing – it’s YOUR words, from YOUR head, with YOUR voice – and we can’t wait to hear what you’ve learned about your animal!
