PLAGIARISM
By: Leanne Trataris
To avoid plagiarism, all students must
document sources properly using
Footnotes, Endnotes, or References, and
must write a Bibliography. It should be at
the end of the research paper to list the
sources used.
Make sure that keep accurate records of
all the sources you use for your
assignments.
Check to see which type of
documentation is preferred by your teacher.
HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM
*PARAPHRASING AND QUOTING*
Paraphrasing is when your
read a passage and rewrite it
in your own words. Since its
someone else's work you are
getting your information from
it would be a good idea to add
a source.
Quoting means to copy or use the
exact same words from where you are
working and use it in your own work.
When quoting use should use quotation
marks – “”
When paraphrasing a source you
should read the whole text instead
of just rewriting everything in your
own words every time you read a
sentence from the original text.
Be selective. Don’t just copy
everything. Read through the text
and find the most important points
to use.
HOW TO PARAPHRASE A SOURCE
SUCCESSFUL AND UNSUCCESSFUL PARAPHRASING
Successful
Successful paraphrasing
is when your whole
essay is written in your
own words but you’ve
still used the help of
someone else's work.
Unsuccessful
This would be when it is
obvious you didn’t do the
work yourself and your
sentence structure would
be very similar to the
source you are using.
Introducing a quotation. When you are about use
a quote you should introduce it, for example if you
said ‘this is a quote by …’ This is called a signal
HOW TO QUOTE A SOURCE
An assertion indicates the relationship between
the quote and your text.
These are useful steps to use when writing an essay….
Research – to find out about more your subject
Brainstorming - what ideas you have for your essay
Introduction – this is where you introduce what you are going to be
talking about. It should grab the readers attention and make them want to
keep reading.
Paragraphs – each paragraph should be focused on a different idea.
Conclusion – this is the part where you summarize all your main points
and end your essay
