Plagiarism, Citations and Annotated Bibliograpy

What is Plagiarism? Presenting the words, images, ideas, sounds, or creative expressions of others as your own.

Do Students Plagiarize? “A study of almost 4,500 students at 25 schools suggests cheating is... a significant problem in high school. 74% of the respondents admitted to one or more instances of serious test cheating and 72% admitted to serious cheating on written assignments. Over half of the students admitted they have engaged in some level of plagiarism on written assignments using the Internet.” Source: “CIA Research” Center for Academic Integrity, Duke University, 2003.

You Have Probably Plagiarized If: You have included the ideas and words of others that you neglect to cite You have had help you wouldn’t want the teacher to know about

Two Types of Plagiarism Intentional ● Copying a friend’s work ● Buying or borrowing a paper ● Cutting and pasting blocks of text from the InternetUnintentional ● Paraphrasing carelessly ● Documenting poorly ● Quoting excessively ● Changing only a few words

To avoid plagiarism….. …. use MLA in-text and other citation rules In MLA style, referring to the works of others in your text is done by using what is known as parenthetical citation. This method involves placing relevant source information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase.

Parenthetical Citations (Books) Author’s name and page number listed in text. Example: Pope was clear to point out that, although many of his ideas were idealistic, Rousseau held ambivalent feelings toward women (138). Example: During World War I, British and American women could, for the first time, earn first-class pay for high quality work (Gilbert 236-7). Example: “ British and American women earned first-class pay for first-class work ” (Gilbert 236-7).

Parenthetical Citations (Website) Author’s name, title of article (or partial title) in parenthesis. Example: Classroom management is one of the most important skills for new teachers to hone (Classroom Management). Example: “ Life is hard, but one must persevere ” (Sweeny).

Practice with Parenthetical Citations Education is context specific and context- dependent. Context refers to the settings or surroundings in which education takes place. A student teacher is faced with the exciting but challenging task of assimilating a variety of contexts very rapidly when embarking upon teaching practice, whether during a course of initial teacher pre-service education or as a newly qualified teacher entering a first appointment in a school. These contexts vary from the very broad and general macro-contexts at a societal level to the very specific micro-contexts of a particular school, class and lesson. The prospect can be daunting, as we see in some student teachers’ concern for short-term survival in a new classroom. The thrust of this book is to support students in their initial teaching experiences – the micro-contexts of everyday life in classrooms. 3

Summarized Text Teachers have many things to consider including the larger societal issues and smaller issues that directly impact their classrooms and lessons (Cohen, Manion, and Morrison 3).

Citing One Source (Author’s name) (examines, explores, focuses on) ______________________________ (page number). Example: Hughes explores the relationship between Martin Luther King, Jr. and his father (342).

(Your Leader’s Name), (Author’s Name) (argues, asserts, concludes, contends, emphasizes), was _______________________________ (page number). Example: King, Hughes concludes, was a formidable leader in the early 1960’s (431).

It can be argued, as (Author’s Name) does, that _____________________________ (page number). Example: It can be argued, as Hughes does, that King was determined to make live better for all Americans (131).

Integrating material from more than one source: (Author A) and (Author B) agree that ____________________________________________. Example: Hughes and Lewis agree that Martin Luther King, Jr. was the leader of the civil rights leader.

Though (Author A) points out that __________________________, (Author B) argues that ___________________________________________. Example: Though Hughes points out that King was a great father, Lewis suggested otherwise.

Annotated Bibliography Consists of two parts, the summary of content and an evaluation; 150 words max; one or two paragraphs long. Summary: no more than 75 words (brief) summary of what the text says. Introduce the author, his credentials and purpose of writing. Use the 5 W’s to help you summarize the entire text. Evaluation: no more than 75 words, assess the source and offer some criticism of it. Does it seem like the source is reliable and current? Why? Is the research biased of objective? Are the facts well documents? Who is the author? Is he/she qualified in this subject?

London, Herbert. "Five Myths of the Television Age." Television Quarterly 10.1 (1982): Herbert London, the Dean of Journalism at New York University and author of several books and articles, explains how television contradicts five commonly believed ideas. He uses specific examples of events seen on television, such as the assassination of John Kennedy, to illustrate his points. His examples have been selected to contradict such truisms as: "seeing is believing"; "a picture is worth a thousand words"; and "satisfaction is its own reward." London uses logical arguments to support his ideas, which are his personal opinion. He doesn't refer to any previous works on the topic. London's style and vocabulary would make the article of interest to any reader.
