Now, project the Humpty Dumpty poem (found as Paraphrasing_PowerPoint) 4. Ask two students to come up to the board and paraphrase the poem. The two students should be on opposite sides of the SMART board. 5. Have the class discuss each paraphrase, its pros and cons, and accurate citations. [5-10 min] 6. Next have students take out a sheet of paper. On the PowerPoint, project the next excerpt.

After 1 or 2 groups share, project the OWL answer and have a student read it. Briefly discuss similarities and differences between student responses and OWL. 7.

Show students the final slide which is a citation of where the excerpts were taken from. Let them know that they can refer to the Purdue OWL website for all of their citation needs now and in college. [15 min]
