Goal of Citing Sources

The goal I have and want to accomplish is having students accurately citing their sources in their writing. Through reading some of the students work I have noticed that they have some trouble with citing outside sources into their writing. I would assess this by giving them just a simple short paper to write that is like one page maybe a few paragraphs and then giving them some sources to cite from. I would have them cite at least three sources and ensuring that they are doing it correctly. There is obviously various ways to cite sources, however I would just go with what they know and what they usually use in their papers and make sure they have the citation in correct order. I would give them an example on the board of how to write a citation and then have them begin their writing.

The most important thing I have needed to consider in, my unit planning is the various needs of all my students. Many of the classes I teach are gen ed, however I do have two classes that have co teachers/ support teachers for the students. So I have had to consider the needs of those students a lot to ensure that they are getting what they need in order to learn.

This is all connected because every student is different and has various needs, and I want to ensure that I am able to get the point across to my students and know that they are able to learn what I am teaching without falling behind or getting stuck.

Examples

supports (scaffolding for those students who really need it)
frequent check ins with the students who seem to be struggling
class check ins to ensure that everyone is doing okay and that if they need help they know where to go or who to ask
