  1. OdysseyWebquest • Before we jump into this story, you need a bit of background for this epic tale. After all, the Odyssey is book two in a series! 1.) You will answer 10 questions using research databases and/or credible websites. 2.) Do NOT copy word for word unless you put answers in quotes. Paraphrase or summarize. 3.) Create a Works Cited page. 4.) Type your responses, Works Cited page and submit your webquest to TurnItIn.com.

  2. Plagiarism • What is plagiarism? • Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines plagiarism as “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own :  use (another's production) without crediting the source.” • Plagiarism Contract – to be signed by you & your parent – DUE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY

  3. When in Doubt, Cite It!! Example of Magazine Article Citation

  4. What’s a Good Source? • START WITH THE DATABASES!!! • Britannica Online • FactsonFile • Other options if you need additional sources: .eduor .org websites, as well as the recommended .coms. I should not see unapproved .coms on your Works Cited page. • Sweet Search is a great search engine option. • Google is NOT a source! It’s a starting point -- not a source by itself -- but again, Google should not be an option. Everything can be found through our recommended sources.
