Take responsibility for your work in class
EVERY SINGLE DAY. Meet the deadlines that your teacher sets. Be respectful of those working around you. Make sure your work is YOUR OWN. Questions? Just ask your teacher! (not the
person/group sitting next to you…)
Step 5: Get to Work
Copying and pasting from websites without
citing sources. Using the words of another person as your
own. Using the ideas of another person as your
own.
Any time you can describe what you are doing as ¨borrowing¨ or ¨copying¨, you need to cite the source! Most problems can be avoided by simply stating where your information came from!
What constitutes plagiarism?
Want to include a .gif, a short animation or
video, or an image in your blog? Cite your source!
What about music and other audio? Cite your source!
Where? In the bibliography page on your blog!
What about things that aren´t text?
Ask your teacher!
