Paraphrasing: Learning to write in your own voice  Definition: Paraphrasing means absorbing someone else’s ideas and putting it into your own words.  Question 2 of the survey asks you what the best choice(s)of paraphrasing are in the examples given. Let’s look at them and analyze why they are right or wrong. Kindertransport (children’s transport) was the informal name of a rescue effort which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between 1938 and Kindertransport (children’s transport) was the informal name of a rescue effort which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between 1938 and The first children’s transport arrived in Harwich, Great Britain, on December 2, 1938, bringing about 200 children from a Jewish orphanage in Berlin.

Too Many Citations????  Question 6 addresses the topic which can be a source of much stress when doing a research project. If I use too many citations then it looks like I don’t have an original thought in my head, so I will cite only the most important.  The correct answer is as needed either per direction by your teacher or by what is actually used in the final presentation. Think of it as providing evidence for your arguments. The more evidence you present, the more solid is your case!

More examples of plagiarism You can not use the same paper for another class, that is self-plagiarismYou can not use the same paper for another class, that is self-plagiarism You can not borrow from a friend even if the friend has good intentions You can not borrow from a friend even if the friend has good intentions Cartoon copied from The Plagiarism Handbook by Robert Harris.

AVOIDING PLAGIARISM  Now that you have a better understanding of what plagiarism is you will be able to better avoid it.  Here are some other tips:  Don’t wait until the last minute and give in to the temptation of shortcuts.  When you are gathering information, write down your sources at the same time.  Developing good research skills takes practice & patience, patience, patience!

MORE STEPS TO AVOIDING PLAGIARISM  The answer to question 9 is all of the above!  Remember to put quotation marks around direct quotes.  Cite the source of all borrowed artwork including graphs, tables, or drawings  Keep in mind the purpose of the assignment, to help you develop important information skills and knowledge.  Sources are evidence of your research topic.

CITATION FORMS  There are many versions of proper citation forms. GHS uses the MLA citation form.  Remember the purpose of a citation is to give credit and a way of finding the original document.  So you need the author, title of article, then book, and an address (like an URL web address to get you there. The date of the information is also important. For more specifics ask you School library media specialist and your English teacher.
