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.

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.

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
