  4. How Can I Avoid Plagiarism? • Evaluate resources to make sure they come from reputable/reliable sources • Give credit to all sources used by creating a formal bibliography (NoodleBib) • Quote • Paraphrase • Summarize

  5. Quotations • use a narrow segment of the source • match the source word for word • attributed to the original author Used to: • provide support for your claims • add credibility to your argument • highlight a striking phrase, sentence or passage

  6. Paraphrase • putting a passage from the source into your own words • usually shorter than original source • must cite the source

  7. Steps for Note-Taking • Read entire text. • Identify (highlight) main idea and key points. • Summarize in your own words the single main idea. • Paraphrase supporting points. • Identify words, phrases or passages that should be quoted.

  8. Steps for Note-taking • Summarizing: • Delete unneccessary words/sentences • Delete redundant words/sentences • Substitute broad terms for specific ones (ex. Birds for sparrows, juncos, blue jays) -Select or create a topic sentence
