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.


* What are at least 3 ways to avoid plagiarizing?
-You can write what you think and then just cite your source
-You can make a table or web with some of your ideas and then add it to your writing
-Paraphrase the writing
