ELA Test Prep: Break Homework #2

>What did the student do wrong? What could he/she have done to include the source correctly?

What the student did wrong is he or she just copied and pasted works that wasn’t theirs and made it seem like his or her own work. He/she didn’t give the author of the writing get credit for their own work. What he/she could have done differently is citing her source while copying in pasting or he/she could have paraphrased it.

>Write a sentence using the original source correctly; use a quotation or paraphrase. Also, make sure to cite correctly. Consult my post on citing sources.

         I can agree with the quote “This sky keeps the viewer's eyes moving about the painting, following the curves and creating a visual dot to dot with the stars.”("A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings", Unknown)

>What are at least 3 ways to avoid plagiarizing?


             >One way to avoid plagiarizing is to, instead of copying and pasting whole sections of a passage, finding smaller parts that you could quote in your own writing.

           >A second way to avoid plagiarizing is to use the source you are reading as a guide to get ideas and instead of copying the authors ideas, Use their ideas to branch off and come up with new ideas.

          >Lastly, a way to avoid plagiarizing is to instead of just knowingly using someone else’s work and not quote it. JUST CITE THE PASSAGE it doesn’t count as plagiarism if you give credit to the rightful author
