Most Language Art PEP performance tasks will have a writing task formerly known as the Communication Task in GSAT. In these writing task, students are required to analyze and sometimes critique details from various sources of information, which are sometimes in tabular form.
In order to write effective essays and narratives, students will need to form their own opinions and also cite evidence from the sources to support these opinions or claim. When copying evidence from a source you can either use quotations or paraphrase.
Using quotations
You use quotations (” “) when the words copied is exactly the same as in the source.
Paraphrasing
When paraphrasing not only are the words in the sentence that was copied from the passage changed but also the structure, however the meaning is the same.
Example
Using quotations
“The weather forecast tells us what the temperature and air conditions are likely to be outside.”
Paraphrasing
When we want to know what the temperature and air conditions of the environment will likely be we can refer to the weather foreast.
