III. SELECTING/ANALYZING Notecards (Index Cards) DO NOT PLAGIARIZE: To avoid plagiarism Do not write in complete sentences—use phrases. Paraphrase using your own word. Do not use a, and, the, that, is, are, but Do not write your topic

Step 4: Source Sheets for Bibliography Books, e-Books, Encyclopedias, Data Bases Book/e-Book Encyclopedia *Source # _____*Source # __________ *ISBN # ___________________________________ *Title: ____________________________________*Author__________________________________ *Author: __________________________________*“Article Title” ____________________________ Publisher: ________________________________*Encyclopedia Title_________________________ Place Published____________________________*Volume Number __________________________ Copyright date: ___________________________*Pages used _______________________________ Pages used: ______________________________*Date of Publication_________________________ Format __________________________________*Format _______________________

4. Locating Information Create your bibliography using Noodle Tools

PLAGIARISM What is Plagiarism? Plagiarism is using the work of other people without giving them credit. You are falsifying your work when you plagiarize. How serious is it if you plagiarize? Page 12 of the VMS Student Handbook says: Students at Middle School are taught that plagiarism is stealing. The following are considered plagiarism: turning in someone else’s work, copying words or ideas for some one else without giving credit, failing to put a quotation in quotation marks, or copying sentence structure but changing words without giving credit

CONSEQUENCES OF PLAGERISM Pg 12 continued: The consequences for plagiarism will be a zero on the paper, detention, and parent notification. Subsequent offenses will result in a zero on the paper, ISS, and parent notification.

Locating Information Avoiding Plagiarism When stating an unknown or unusual fact, give credit to the author or person who gave the information: Examples: Dr. William Corbett, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania’s addiction research lab, stated that addiction is a disease of the brain. In his book Chasing the High, author Kyle Keegan shares that he did not think he had a problem with addiction because he was still able to function in school and sports.

Avoiding Plagiarism When quoting someone directly, use quotation marks and give that person credit. Example: The author of the book, Chasing the High, Kyle Keegan, states that. “Getting clean is like being born….It’s painful, beautiful, and scary all at once.”

Locating Information Avoiding Plagiarism Do not write in complete sentences—use phrases. Paraphrase using your own word. No conjunctions, helping verbs, adverbs Do not use articles (a, an, the), adjectives Do not put topic in note Include a “Works Cited” page

NOTECARD#_____ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________ Pg ________

Step 5 Use your general and specific key words to look up materials on you topic. Go through each source to determine if they will be useful, what information is available, and th amount of information available. Understand the length requirement of your assigned paper. Together the above steps will help you determine if you need ro broaden or narrow your topic

STEP 6: SYNTHESIZE Organize your notes so all main ideas and supporting details together Put them in order that makes the most sense Paper clip, color code, whatever you like to keep them organized Give each pile a title (main idea) Make sure each main idea has enough detail to support it. Continue to research if necessary.

STEP 6: SYNTHESIS Outline Outline I. IntroIII. Main Idea A. Hook A. Detail B. B. Detail C. Thesis Statement C. Detail II Main Idea D. Detail A. Detail B. Detail IV. Main Idea C. Detail A. Detail D. Detail B. Detail E. Detail C. Detail
