But we dont' much emphasize the word Reference or Citation. We just simply encourage them to give a "Thank You" to the people or resources they learned from to complete their projects. So after any Units of Inquiry project students mentions the Books names, Author names, teachers name or else they learned from. <br /><br />So the plan is for whole school is: <br /><br /> Grade 1 to Grade 3 should know about acknowledging sources (Thank you);<br /> Grade 4 to Grade 6 should know how to use citation machine for referencing;<br /> Grade 7 to Grade 10 should know in-text citation and bibliographical referencing (some error acceptable);<br /> Diploma students are highly encouraged to use Mendeley as long as its free; <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096261974638094770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798440099232048221.post-66876729390224120562015-05-28T21:19:13.573+08:002015-05-28T21:19:13.573+08:00The idea of collecting information from different ...The idea of collecting information from different department and arriving at common consensus is good. thanks for sharing the resource and ideaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539014252534588320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798440099232048221.post-45696490571897110252015-03-04T04:18:06.356+08:002015-03-04T04:18:06.356+08:00From the information provided, it seems that Refer...From the information provided, it seems that Reference isn’t commonly taught in that stage. Either it's too early in the curriculum, or that there are requisite skills that has to be learned beforehand, to fully acquire the idea or knowledge about Reference and citation. But nonetheless, I think that it could be reasonable to have these as a requirement for yr7, if not touch base even at an earlier level. It would increase the quality of their performance and as well as their capacity for the said skill. Thanks for sharing this topic with us, Dianne. And good luck with your future endeavors!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://isaregistrar.blogspot.com/2014/08/earning-iso-9001-certification-auditors.html" rel="nofollow">Barton Wilson @ International Standards Authority, Inc.</a><br />Barton Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440065312045432609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798440099232048221.post-67963131304158219022014-05-16T15:14:58.443+08:002014-05-16T15:14:58.443+08:00Hi Dianne

Thanks for your comment. Regarding teachi...Hi John,<br />Thanks for your comment. Regarding teaching full text referencing for year 7, I really don't think they are up to learning it along with all the other new things they need to learn in year 7. I think the introduction of in text referencing for images and graphs (and possibly moving quotations to year 7) is enough. The message of consistency is important at this point, and we really need to keep it simple to get it launched. We may visit it later. <br /><br />As for moving it to other schools, as far as I can tell, other many schools in most cases are just as confused as we are about all this.Dianne McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645542071339864713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798440099232048221.post-72382529868001588872014-05-15T04:07:13.874+08:002014-05-15T04:07:13.874+08:00Great post, Dianne, and great work too. Thank you...Great post, Dianne, and great work too. Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />The audit is a great way to get discussion started amongst teachers, leading (one hopes) to common appreciation, common understanding, common expectations and common practice. It will surely reduce student confusion, an understanding of how good writers write, and of how writers integrate and use other people's words and work into their own work. (Isn't it amazing, and worrying, just how much difference there is in terms of expectation and requirement - and the 56% who don't teach it... how will the students ever learn? How will students appreciate the importance of academic integrity if teachers seem not to appreciate it?)<br /><br />The one comment I would make with regard to the scope and sequence document (well done, so very well done) is with regard to in-text citation. I think in-text citation could and should be expected from all students, for all uses of other people's work. Delaying in-text citation of quotations until year 8, and of paraphrases and summaries until year 10 could inculcate bad habits, which could get students into trouble. Especially if they move from Renaissance to other schools?<br /><br />It doesn't have to be correct according to Hoyle (or APA) in-text citation; enough possibly to require simple parenthetical citation at the youngest levels, with more stylistic in-text citation coming later. But get them being completely honest from GO - this isn't mine (and this is where I got it from).<br /><br />The S&S document also means that teachers will know what they can expect from students at each year level, what they should be requiring, and teaching too. It will also guide as to what might be too much of an expectation at the year level too.<br /><br />Please share the S&S document as you finalise it, once other comments come in.<br /><br />Good work, Dianne.
