They are closely related and, some would say, inseparable. Basically


put: reading affects writing and writing affects reading. ... Reading a variety of
genres, then, helps them learn text structures and language that they can then transfer
to their own writing. Reading, therefore, plays a major role in writing.
When educators intentionally connect instruction and practice of reading and writing
skills, they provide students with meaningful opportunities to automatize those skills.
Research suggests that by experiencing the connectivity of reading and writing,
students can begin to grow in their overall literacy skills. Reading exposes us to other
styles, other voices, other forms, and other genres of writing. Importantly, it exposes us
to writing that's better than our own and helps us to improve. ... Reading helps us
make connections to our own experiences and emotions so reading makes you a
better writer and a better communicator.
2. The descriptive study
This approach attempts to identify the characteristics of a problem through description.
Because the subject cannot be described in all its detail, careful selection of facts must
occur. Facts should be gathered according to pre-determined criteria and for the
purpose of demonstrating relationships of interest. To the extent that the descriptive
study of a particular problem provides one with a generalized understanding of a
phenomenon that, in turn, can be employed to understand other specific problems, this
approach is useful and acceptable. An example of this approach would be a description
of an unusual planning program in operation in one Municipality, with the objective
being to illustrate how the program differs from similar programs found in other
Municipalities.

1. Use direct quotes - or don't quote at all 

Sometimes in your research you will come across a passage that makes a point so eloquently that you
can’t imagine saying it any other way. There’s nothing wrong with copying such statements in your
writing, but be careful how you do it. Just adding a citation to the source is not enough; you must also put
the copied language in quotation marks. Without quotation marks, you are giving the reader the
impression that you wrote the passage yourself.

2. Paraphrase with care 


Don’t assume that you can avoid using quotation marks simply because you are not copying the entire
original passage verbatim. At Seton Hall Law, we define plagiarism to include copying 15 or more
consecutive words without the use of quotation marks. This means that, when you are paraphrasing a
long passage, if you leave any 15 consecutive words unchanged from the original, you need to include
those words in quotation marks. Keep in mind that 15 words can be less than a single sentence.

3. Give credit where credit is due 

Even if you remember to insert quotation marks around any copied passage of 15 words or more, you can
still commit plagiarism if you rely on someone else’s words or ideas without giving that person credit.

For example, assume you are writing a paper about the American legal system, and you come across a
web site with the following passage: “In the American legal system, litigants are generally responsible for
paying their own attorney’s fees, regardless of the outcome of the case. This means that people who can’t
afford to hire a lawyer may effectively be denied access to justice.”

In your paper, you write, “People who don’t have enough money to hire lawyers are effectively denied
access to justice in America, since litigants are generally required to pay their own lawyers no matter
which side wins the case.”

You have successfully paraphrased the original sentence, so no quotation marks are needed. But you still
need to include a citation to the original source, to make it clear to the reader that this is not your own
personal insight, but rather an observation made by someone else.

4. Beware of cutting and pasting 

When doing research on the Internet, it is easy to get into the habit of cutting and pasting snippets of
useful information into a text document, and then using that document as the basis for writing your first
draft. This is very dangerous, as you can inadvertently mix up your original writing with material that has
been copied.

If you must cut and paste, be scrupulous about putting any copied material in quotation marks and clearly
indicating the source.

Even better, put any text you have cut and pasted into a different color or font than your own original
writing, so that you can easily see what is yours and what is someone else’s.

5. Footnote as you go 

Even when you’re just writing a rough draft, it’s a good idea to insert footnotes — at least one per
paragraph, and ideally even more.

The purpose of these footnotes is not to provide perfectly formatted citation information — you can wait to
do that until later — but rather to provide enough basic information to remind you of the sources you have
used. At this stage, don’t use terms like “id.” or “ibid.” for referring to previous citations; instead, insert the
name of the sources in each footnote, so that you will remember where the material came from even if
you later move your sentences around.
4. These texts may even express values and ideas that will persuade readers to view the world
differently. Nonetheless, if the text is not entertaining, readers are unlikely to find enlightenment
or be moved by such a text. Therefore, the primary purpose of any text, poem, play is to
entertain readers

5. Writing a book review prepares one in analyzing scholarly texts. When writing a book
review, one develops his/her critical thinking and it also sharpens them. It is a way in
improving the descriptive, analytical, and critical thinking skills of the students

6. giving due credits to the author or writer of the original work is important when citing
published work because it gives credit to the original author and their work for the ideas
you found to be useful, and in giving them credit it helps you avoid unintentionally
plagiarizing their work.

7. Writing to learn means using writing as a tool to promote content learning; when
students write they think on paper. Content teachers assign writing activities to help
students learn subject matter, clarify and organize their thoughts, and improve their
retention of content. Writing to learn is a way to provide students with opportunities to
recall, clarify, and question what they know and would like to know about a subject.

8. Intertextuality is the shaping of a text’s meaning by another text. It is the interconnection between
similar or related works of literature that reflect and influence an audience’s interpretation of the
text. It is very important for it leads to a much richer reading experience which invites new
interpretations as it brings another context, idea, story into the text at hand. It also provides one
way for students to compose their own texts drawn from their knowledge of others.

9. Research will help us to generate useful information or knowledge which can be used for solving
social problems. There is no point of conducting research if it is not generating new knowledge on
particular issues or problems.
