Hi Rebecca,
I tell students to change the words and wording by using their own voice and style. You tell the story using short paragraphs with topic sentences full of relevant evidence. I teach history but every discipline requires support for themes and concepts.
I make students do it over and over again until the work actually becomes their's. I do a lot of work with animals and so I always say with children and adults too, you have to get your students to know what the right way is through positive reinforcement.
I think this is much harder for men since they focus more on discipline instead of empathy which I think works better for improvement.
Give students your faith and they will almost all have new born will.
