Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

Lesson Plan

Specific Objective To Meet Goals:

Students will be able to know and identify the differences and uses of direct quotes
Students will be able to identify when a thing is paraphrased and the reasons for paraphrasing and how it
is different than summarizing

Ohio Learning Standard Grade 12 (Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing)

Once given instruction and assistance students will be able to make proper use of quotes providing textual
evidence and key points from the texts they are learning. They will know how to identify paraphrasing
and summaries.

Materials Needed:
Students will need a writing utensil. Worksheets are provided.

Motivational Techniques:
To get the lesson started give definitions in a steady and paced manner. Do not rush through and repeat
things as necessary. This helps the students to ease into new concepts with which they are not quite
familiar

Procedure For The Lesson:

The students will be in their usual seats at the tables in order to be able to do independent work.

- Students enter the classroom, take seats, and get out their materials for class. (5 minutes)
- The students are handed their worksheets as I give general comments (2 minutes)
- I go through the definitions with the students as the write them down. (8 minutes)
- I instruct the students to identify between a quotation, paraphrase, and summary. (2 minutes)
- The students will then be required to distinguish between the different kinds of direct quotations
(2 minutes)
- The students will then have a grammar passage with mistakes in it for them to correct as review
for past lessons they have had activating their prior knowledge (5 minutes)
- Once the students have completed this they will be required to hand in the completed assignment,
and I will grade them. (2 minutes)

Academic Language:
Prior knowledge, grading, instruction.
 Assessment Methods:
To determine the students’ attainment of the objectives within the lesson, grades will be recorded,
observed and discussed. Not only will the quality of their work be looked at, but also the students’
abilities to show their competency of subject material.

Evaluation of Field Experience Student’s Performance:

Overall, the lesson as a whole went very well. I spoke not in a cruel way, but with authority.
After making sure that the students understood what I had just previously explained and
specified, I made a point of improving what had not gone very well in the last lesson taught. So,
when it was time for the students to work independently, I made it very clear that they were to be
quiet. The students in turn maintained a respectful silence and only spoke once they had raised
their hand, and I went over to them to answer questions. In the end the students developed a
concrete and basic understanding of these concepts, and I improved in classroom management.
