EAP Integrating Sources Worksheet - Reading and Writing Exercises: Categorising, Matching, Multiple-choice, Writing Sentences, Paragraph Writing - Speaking Activity: Guided Discussion, Freer Practice - Pair Work In this integrating sources worksheet, students learn how to move beyond 'data dumping' by explaining what numbers mean and linking findings to plausible interpretations using formal academic language. To begin, students read a short introduction about integrating data from sources into academic writing. Students then read two paragraphs and discuss questions with a partner. Next, students mark each sentence as Quantitative Finding (F) or Qualitative Explanation (E). After that, students arrange the sentences from Exercise B into two logical sentence pairs by matching each quantitative finding with its qualitative explanation. Students then underline the most logical explanation for each piece of quantitative data. Following that, students read the quantitative findings and discuss possible explanations with a partner. Next, students choose two of the findings and write a short academic explanation for each one. Students then read the source table and write a four to five-sentence paragraph that links both sources together and includes two explanations using formal academic language. Finally, students check their paragraph using a checklist and make any necessary changes. show less

EAP Integrating Sources Worksheet - Reading and Writing Exercises: Binary Choice, Unscrambling, Rewriting Sentences, Rewriting a Paragraph, Peer Feedback - Pair Work In this productive integrating sources worksheet, students practice identifying and using narrative and parenthetical citations and correcting citation errors in a short synthesis paragraph.

Next, students put words in the correct order to make sentences with citations. After that, students rewrite sentences to include a correct citation, using two narrative and two parenthetical forms in total. Following that, students read a synthesis paragraph and underline five citation problems. Students then rewrite the synthesis paragraph using correct citations and both narrative and parenthetical forms. Finally, students swap worksheets and complete a checklist to give each other feedback, discussing any issues and making corrections if needed. show less

After that, students match each sentence to its correct ending to create complete quote frames. Students then reorder words to make sentences. Following that, students read each embedded quote and choose the more effective explanation, discussing their reasoning with a partner. Next, students read each argument and embedded quote and then write an explanation sentence showing what the quote demonstrates. Finally, students choose two quotes from a table and write a three-sentence quote sandwich for each one. show less

Finally, students use their notes to write a three- to four-sentence synthesis paragraph that includes at least one similarity and one difference, uses appropriate compare and contrast linkers, and cites both sources in their own words. show less
