Citing Sources
Do your students have difficulty giving credit where credit is due? When they do try to cite their sources, does it sound contrived? This power point has several examples of how the authors of some Time For Kids articles cite their sources. With the push for students to write in argumentative mode and use text evidence, this is a critical skill to teach even in the elementary grades.
