When informing the students on the topic of plagiarism yesterday, I used the following activity as a mean of having the students apply what they learned about in-text citation. The names in the activity are the names of the students in the class. I could have used names of scholars -but, it may have been meaningless to them because they may have not known anything about the scholars that I would have selected. In addition, I believe that when I included the students into this activity, (I hope) it illustrated to the students that I was actually thinking about them as I was developing it. My goal for using this material was to asses the student comprehensibility of the in-text citation, which is one of the tools that help writers avoid plagiarism. This activity was the second activity in that lesson. Thus, I used it in the end. However, due to time constraints were not able to finish it. In theory, the students would complete it on their own, then pair up with someone in the class for four minutes to do peer review. Then, as a class we would discuss APA style in-text citation. Also, in the discussion, I would have shown the students how other citation styles such as MLA and Chicago perform in-text citation. Making this comparison will illustrates to the students 1) the differences between the styles, and 2) have them become aware of the differences so when they see a different mean of citation in an article, they would understand that it is following a specific style (not simply wrong). I believe that the students learned a lot even without the completion of the activity! They would have learned even more it they completed it though. In-text citation was one of the major issues that many students had trouble with. Thus, having them do it in class would benefit them greatly.
