  1. Definitions • Giving credit to a source for words and ideas from the source • “a technical term for the procedure whereby writers identify the sources of their information” (Searles 303)

  2. What needs to be documented? • Exact words (quotations from sources) • Ideas (paraphrase of source material) • Statistics • Visuals

  3. Plagiarism • Using a source’s words or ideas without giving the source credit; using those words and ideas as though they are your own

  4. Penalties for Plagiarism • In school: failing a project or class; withdrawal or expulsion • At work: loss of credibility; loss of position or job; possible legal action • Unintentional: possible F on report • Intentional: possible F in class

  6. Lewis, L. Myths after Lincoln. New York: Press of the Readers Club. • Original: However much Abraham Lincoln believed in democracy, the American masses, in the half-century following their war-President's death, did not seem to believe in themselves. • Paraphrase: No matter how much Abraham Lincoln believed in democracy, American masses did not appear to believe in themselves in the half-century after their war-President's death.

  7. Paraphrase: The average American in the 50 years after Lincoln died possessed no self-confidence, despite the fact that Lincoln had a great deal of faith in democracy.

  10. Bibliography • MLA: Works Cited; APA: References • Place as last page of project. • Center title on first line. • Alphabetize list by author’s last name or by first important word of title. • Indent all but first line one tab. • More Info: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/
