Plagiarism: no laughing matter?

My totally original plagiarism presentation (according to my students) English teachers—lend me your ears! I come to bury plagiarism, not to praise it. Four score and seven years ago, in the best and worst of times, it was a truth universally acknowledged that a student in possession of a good website must be want of an A…

Case Study: Take It or Leave It Christine Pelton – “The Leaf Project” The project Classroom results Student/parent contract Administration/School Board response Long-term consequences

Case Study: Take It or Leave It “I was kind of upset ‘cause I was pretty sure I didn’t do it,” [one student] says, claiming he copied from the internet but didn’t plagiarize... “I put that as two different sentences,” he says. “So it’s not like I copied it straight from the Web site. I changed it into two different sentences.” (48 Hours, 2002)

Where do you stand? Students/Parents Students deserve another chance School Board Reduce value of assignment Teacher/Admin Students receive a zero

My Questions What factors haven’t we considered? Merit of Assignment Failure vs. Zero Plagiarism Instruction vs. Plagiarism Expectations School Policy vs. Classroom Policy

Team Efforts School Culture Grades Honor Codes School pressures Questions, Comments, Insults Prompt Attention Imagine you could spend one day in the world of “Harrison Bergeron” and talk to the characters in the story. Write a letter to the U.S. Handicapper General describing your experiences and your views on the society within the story after your visit.

Most teachers wouldn't catch on."
