  1. Plagiarism:Thou Shall not steal

  2. What is it? The word plagiarism comes from a Latin word meaning “kidnapper” or “plunderer”. How does this relate to the meaning of the word? http://theultralinx.com/2012/02/recognise-phone-thief.html

  3. What qualifies as plagiarism? Stealing words or IDEAS If it’s not your own original thought, you need to give credit to the person who did think of it. Do we see crediting sources in everyday life?

  4. Scenarios that are plagiarism Copying and pasting text from any web site Using photographs, video or audio without permission or acknowledgement Using another student’s or your parents’ work and claiming it as your own even with permission Quoting a source without using quotation marks-even if you do cite it Citing sources you didn’t use Getting a research paper, story, poem, or article off the Internet – even with “cosmetic changes” Turning in the same paper for more than one class without the permission of both teachers (this is called self-plagiarism) Using information without giving credit to the source Can you think of more?

  5. How to avoid plagiarism • Summarize, Paraphrase, Quote • Even if you do this, you must STILL cite the source. These are not your ideas. • When making note cards, try to read a section, close the book, and write notes from your memory. The more you can bullet point and list, the farther away from the original wording you will be. • Use in-text citation and a work cited page to correctly give credit to your source.

  6. What happens when you plagiarize? http://gladstone.vsb.bc.ca/library/cheating http://www.pyrczak.com/antiplagiarism/cartoons.htm In this class – hopefully in every class – you will fail the assignment. In most cases, a notice will be sent home to notify your parents. In college – failed paper, expelled In life – FIRED, sued, etc. This is a CRIME.

  7. What if I “accidentally” plagiarized? • IT’S STILL PLAGIARISM! • If you appropriately take notes, cite information that needs credit, and add your own flair to the information given, YOU WILL BE FINE. • Plagiarizing just ONE sentence is the same as plagiarizing the entire paper. It will not be overlooked, here or in future settings. • Plagiarism is LAZINESS and lack of creative writing. • You need to be able to look at information, understand, and be able to comment on what you read.

  8. When should I cite? Research papers are a mix of factual information and the writer’s attitude and perception of the material. When writing your paper, you will be commenting on the facts you find. EX: A person raised all four of his younger siblings when he was sixteen. YOU can comment on the strength, responsibility, and passion for the family.

  9. When should I cite? • MUST CITE: • Quoting information • Facts, statistics, charts • Ideas from another person • Information that is not “common knowledge” • Specifics, personal stories, records • If you don’t know if you should cite it, CITE IT. Better safe than sorry!

  10. Common knowledge? Information that the general population (or your reader) will know Things that can be found in a general reference source – AN ENCYCLOPEDIA If you find the same information undocumented in at least five credible sources Examples: George Washington was the first president. Arnold Schwarzenegger was an actor and body builder. Water freezes at 32 degrees F.

  11. What would be common knowledge for your person? Dates – birth and death Family structure – unless something is hidden or controversial Becoming a professional Way of death Any more you can think of?

  12. What is not common knowledge? Personal stories of their lives Statistics of their success Little known facts Quotations
