Written Reports Should Include… • Oral Presentations • Note Cards • Rough Drafts • Outlines • Bibliographies • Interviews • Surveys • Experiments
In the Beginning… • Include an Academic Honor Policy in your class syllabus, post the policy in your classroom • Discuss the Academic Honor Policy with your students • PLAN WITH YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARIAN! • Review the differences between collaboration, quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing and plagiarism • Invite a college/university professor to speak to your class about honor codes • Try your own assignment and rate the assignment for its level of difficulty • Assign topics that are narrow, current and unusual • Make GALILEO a mandatory source • Bibliographic cards should contain where the information was found • Ask your students to research various college and university honor codes
In Class… • Know the student’s ability • Assign mini-papers during class time • Provide time for research • Students should write and read their writing aloud in class • Keep a portfolio or folder of students in class writings to compare with home assignments • Students should present their research and field questions from students and staff
Security Breach! • Use new research topics every semester • Monitor student behavior • Students should include in their bibliography where they retrieved the information used in their research • Do not leave graded papers or student work unattended • Do not allow student assistants to grade papers, assemble or type student exams
Let’s Go to the Library • Monitor student activity in the media center and during research time in the classroom • Students should have specific goals during library time, (20 note cards, 10 sources) • Students should have a rubric for evaluation of the assignment and a timeline of specific due dates
