Plagarism is a CRIME !!!

What did the student do wrong? What could he/she have done to include the source correctly?
~ The student plagiarized someone else's work. They copied and pasted from a source and then did not include the source. He/she could have made that a quote then included the article and name of author in the response. Or he/she could have tooken the sentence and out it in their own words.


Write a sentence using the original source correctly; use a quotation or paraphrase. Also, make sure to cite correctly. Consult my post on citing sources.
~ " There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion " ( A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings, unknown author ).





What are at least 3 ways to avoid plagiarizing?
~ to avoid plagiarizing you can :
1. Make sure cite all sources that you took information from
2. take the words and paraphrase them before using the informations and don't forget to site the source when done.
3. Go on a plagiarizing site and put in your response , to see if you plagarized. Then put the words in your own words.

Don't forget plagiarizing is a crime !!!!
