Introduction to LO 2
This song I use to create awareness of LO 2 - synthesising information. The song is indeed a synthesis of various singers performing across the globe, apparently seamless. Concept question: What is the meaning of synthesising? What is the verb form? Noun?
LO 2 prepares students to synthesise their sources and for effectively avoiding plagiarism in their written work through a number of strategies. These strategies include summarising, paraphrasing, using reporting verbs, synonyms, changing sentences structure through the use of passives or 'There is/are' structures.
Using this song to introduce plagiarism is new for me: pre-Zoom I wouldn't have known about the difficulties to speak or sing at once ... On my 'to do' list is investigating editing software - it would be great to arrange for a singalong for my class.
