Core Standard

When writers began to work on research papers and essays, they often need to provide facts in the form of evidence directly from the work they using as a source. There are several ways to achieve this. The most common use by authors is take a direct quotation as a source of reference. You can also take a selection of text and put it in your own words. This is called paraphrasing. You can also provide a summary of the evidence that is present in a work. These worksheets will help students choose the best course of action to present their own evidence.
