 Metacognitive Analysis
Whenever we quote someone else's words in our writings, we must acknowledge the author. In first place, to avoid plagiarism. In second place, because is a matter of honesty and respect towards the author. Third, because it shows your reader that you are using real sources that they can check on if they wish.  And last, it shows the research you have done. Wich means that you are not only relying on your opinions or beliefs but you are also supporting them with facts, studies, etc; making your writing more credible. 

I believe that we, as teacher, should teach our students the importance and value of correctly citing sources.

You can’t edit a blank page.”  ― Jodi Picoult “And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”  ― Sylvia Plath Agostina Sanguinetti
