Highlight, red

This word created a grammatically incorrect sentence—an error in language that  the author did not do, but the student created.

Highlight, yellow

This section of the source is misread or the student never read the required source. Highlighting a quotation mark () indicates the student changed the quotation without revealing the changes.
