  1. Cell Phone Addiction

  2. Opening Activity • Read “Being glued to your cell phone is a problem, experts say.” • Answer the questions at the end of the article.

  3. Paraphrasing #5 fromlast class’sopening activity asked you to take LyndelCostain’s statement about caffeine and put it into your own words. He said, “The problem with caffeine is that the effects can vary, so it is difficult to say what is a safe level. High levels of caffeine can be dangerous for people with high blood pressure or anxiety disorders.”

  4. Paraphrasing Costain said, “The problem with caffeine is that the effects can vary, so it is difficult to say what is a safe level. High levels of caffeine can be dangerous for people with high blood pressure or anxiety disorders.” Acceptable Paraphrase: Caffeine affects each body differently. What is safe for one person may be dangerous for another, especially if they have high blood pressure or anxiety.

  5. Paraphrasing Costain said, “The problem with caffeine is that the effects can vary, so it is difficult to say what is a safe level. High levels of caffeine can be dangerous for people with high blood pressure or anxiety disorders.” Most Common Act of Plagiarism on this question was to use Costain’s unique phrase, “it is difficult to say what is a safe level.” Even if you used “it is hard to say what is a safe level,” some teachers would say that you are plagiarizing.

  6. Paraphrasing Costain said, “The problem with caffeine is that the effects can vary, so it is difficult to say what is a safe level. High levels of caffeine can be dangerous for people with high blood pressure or anxiety disorders.” Other Common Mistakes: - writing something like, “there is no safe level.” - putting “Red Bull” into the statement - writing something like, “the amount of caffeine changes.”
