Test Prep #2 Questions on plagiarizing

* What did the student do wrong? What could he/she have done to include the source correctly?
The student wrote down what he read word for word,which is plagiarizing. The student could have read the entire article, then try to put it in his own words and jus cite his source in the writing that he wrote.

*Write a sentence using the original source correctly; use a quotation or paraphrase. Also, make sure to cite the source correctly....Starry Night is a very popular painting by Van Gough, because of the thought and meaning he put in to the painting. In an article titled "A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings"(Author unknown),It states:"There is the night sky filled with swirling clouds, stars ablaze with their own luminescence, and a bright crescent moon." This quote shows the detail in Van Gough's painting.

I really admire Guadalupe's blog entry on the book series. I admire it because she really put her opinion in it. She really let the reader understand what she thought about all of the books. I also liked Gabriela P.'s entry on the play Much Ado about Nothing.First off her title of the entry is very unique,it seems she put alot of effort in it. I really like how she gave many examples on the play was good to her, also how she wrote how the lighting made her
feelings change during the play. Those are the two blogpost that I admired the most.

I do think I really need to improve my blog and posts. I need to put more thought in the creativity of my titles as Gaby did in her entry. I also need to show the reader how I really feel on whatever I'm writing about as Guadalupe did in her entry. My blog post need to be larger when in comes to the amount of writing in it. I will now try harder to improve on my blog posts.
