It would be very constructive if you are going to pass around passages that are paraphrased and plagiarized and explain to your students the differences. Emphasize that important points of the original must be kept, but in order for those points to fit in subject of their argument, the style and the structure of the grammar must be notably altered. Since the mixing up of the ideas of the students and their sources creates confusion when they start to write their papers, teaching them techniques in note-taking is very beneficial. An example is the use of colored pens and “post-it tabs” to serve as marks for the pages. This method will save them more time, and everything would be clear regarding the references.
