Who is going to help me if I don’t know how to do it? Ask Mrs. Hultstrom Visit Purdue Owl - MLA (online) How do I know when to cite? We will cover this in the PowerPoint Presentation! Why do I have to cite sources in my research paper? Academic Integrity Prevent Plagiarism Identify Sources Used Authority

According to the Dictionary: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own to use (another's production) without crediting the source to commit literary theft to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward, intentionally or unintentionally.

All of the following are considered plagiarism: turning in someone else's work as your own copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit failing to put a quotation in quotation marks giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not

The following is SHS’s policy on academic dishonesty, taken directly from the handbook. This includes PLAGIARISM. “Whenever a student is guilty of academic dishonesty, the teacher shall do the following: FIRST OFFENSE 1. Confiscate relevant tests, notes, or materials 2. Write a referral – Before- or After-School Detention assigned 3. Teacher will notify parent 4. Record a grade of F 5. Conference with counselor, teacher, student, and parent SECOND OFFENSE 1. Confiscate relevant tests, notes, or materials 2. One day of OSS 3. Teacher will notify parent 4. Fail current grading period 5. Conference with counselor, teacher, student, and parent THIRD OFFENSE 1. Confiscate relevant tests, notes, or materials 2. Write referral – appropriate disciplinary action will be taken 3. Teacher will notify parent 4. Removal from class with loss of credit”

What is common knowledge? Common knowledge is information that OUR GROUP knows and understands. Our group consists of you, your classmates, and Mrs. Hultstrom. Examples of common knowledge: Elie Wiesel is the author of Night. Elie Wiesel survived the Holocaust. Jewish people were held prisoner and often killed at concentration camps. The Holocaust occurred during WWII.

In-text citation Pointing to where you got your information from (data, ideas, quotes, images, facts) inside the body of the text. Works Cited A list of all the resources that were cited in the assignment. Often appears at the very end of the paper. For research papers, you should include BOTH.

Using a quote. The character of the dentist “had a face not unlike a death mask” (Wiesel 51). Using author’s name and a quote. In Night, Elie Wiesel described the dentist character as having “a face not unlike a death mask” (51). Note: Only use a quote if you are positive that you cannot say it better in your own words. Keep it short and specific.

Using author’s idea. Similes can be used to enhance descriptions of characters, such as comparing a dentist’s face to a death mask (Wiesel 51). Using author’s name and author’s idea. Wiesel often used similes to enhance descriptions of characters, such as comparing a dentist’s face to a death mask (51).

Original Information from website: “In 1956, while he was in New York reporting on the United Nations, Elie Wiesel was struck by a taxi cab. His injuries confined him to a wheelchair for almost a year. Unable to renew the French document which had allowed him to travel as a "stateless" person, Wiesel applied successfully for American citizenship.” What you wrote in your paper: “While he was in New York reporting, Elie Wiesel was hit by a taxi cab. His injuries confined him to a wheelchair for almost a year. Wiesel applied successfully for American citizenship, because he was unable to renew the French document which had allowed him to travel as a "stateless" person.”

Original Information from website: “In the ghettos, Jewish children died from starvation and exposure as well as lack of adequate clothing and shelter. The German authorities were indifferent to this mass death because they considered most of the younger ghetto children to be unproductive and hence “useless eaters.” Because children were generally too young to be deployed at forced labor, German authorities generally selected them, along with the elderly, ill, and disabled, for the first deportations to killing centers, or as the first victims led to mass graves to be shot.” Citation Information: This is from a website.

Your own words? Don’t forget citation! Then, follow it with a sentence about HOW this information is essential to the main idea of your paper.

Is it YOUR idea or an AUTHOR’S? If it’s an author’s, you must CITE it! While research is important, YOUR IDEAS are what I’m interested in for the summative assignment. Only use research that supports and/or proves your main idea.

You MUST cite quotes and ideas from other authors. Failing to do so is PLAGIARISM, which is not only a poor way of writing, but is also academic dishonesty, which can result in major penalties here at school. Changing a few words or reordering the sentences is still plagiarism because those are not your own words or ideas. Think about your resources. How are they helping to ADD to your points and ideas? How can you go on to explain the importance of your source’s quotes and ideas in your own words?
