Plagiarism is when you take someone else’s ideas/words and put it down as your own. Plagiarism can also be if you write a paper and hand it in multiple times. You can even plagiarize by buying a paper off someone or using information from a source and then not citing it.
You can avoid plagiarizing by putting quotations on all the text that from a source or you could cover up the text with your hand and try to put it into your own words.
Paraphrasing is when you use someone’s idea but you change a few words. A lot of the time on the internet you go on a website, look at the information and then you start writing that information down but you want it to look like it’s your work, so you change a few words.

PLAGIARISM
Cheating, stealing, thievery. Another word to add to the vocabulary is plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else’s words or ideas and use them in your essay, speech (etc.) with out properly acknowledging them.
There are a few ways that you could plagiarize, this includes: not citing your your information (not saying where and who you got your information from), NOT using quotation marks if you did not make the information into your own words, and lastly only changing around a few words or phrases from the original text. Plagiarism could get you in HUGE trouble. Any where from failing a test, to getting expelled from school. That is why we need to put plagiarism to a stop!
Luckily, there are strategies and ways to avoid plagiarism. A few ways are: to put quotes on EVERYTHING that is directly from the original text. Cite your information to make sure the original writer gets credit. The last thing is to, paraphrase. Paraphrasing is using someone else’s words or ideas, but putting the information into your OWN words. Do remember when paraphrasing, that if you only switch around a few words or phrases it will still be plagiarism. To avoid doing that, cover up the text that you were reading from, so you don’t see it. Then start writing! When you have finished writing check the text to make sure your information is accurate.

What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is using other people’s words and ideas without acknowledging the source of information properly. It is also plagiarism if you write a paper for a class and the next year you have to write a paper on the same topic and you use the paper from the previous year. An example of plagiarism that someone can do without realizing: Let’s say that I go to www.en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Lady_Gaga and copy and paste a paragraph or a few sentences onto my report without clearly saying where I got that information. That is plagiarism.
How do you avoid plagiarism? To avoid plagiarizing give credit whenever you use someone opinion, idea, or theory; whenever you use any facts, statistics, or drawings that are not "common knowledge", and quotations from another person’s written words. To avoid plagiarizing you can also paraphrase.
What is paraphrasing? Paraphrasing is where you use someone’s ideas or theory but you write them in your own words and at your level. Because you are using someone’s idea you still need to give credit though. From my own experience paraphrasing is super useful to learn how to do and once you know how to do it is much easier to write when you are using a source of information!
Plagiarism is using other people`s ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.
To avoid plagiarism you must give credit when ever you use another person`s spoken or written words you can use quotation marks on any words, sentences or paragraphs. Any facts, statics, graphs, drawings- any pieces of information, that are not common knowledge.
Paraphrasing is when the writer records the information in the original passage accurately. The writer also gives the credit for the ideas in this passage.
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is when you use other people’s ideas and words and you don’t give credit to that source of information. If you don’t acknowledge another person’s ideas, opinions, facts. Statistics, quotations or paraphrasing, that is also considered plagiarism.
How to avoid plagiarism
Here are some ways to avoid plagiarism: if you put another person’s information into your own words and credit the source, that won’t be considered plagiarism. If you put quotation marks in a sentence that shows the reader that the sentences are taken right from the source. Another way to avoid plagiarism is by citing – that is when you put a number at the end of a sentence and when you put the same number at the bottom of the page which tells you the number with the source that you got it from.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is when you take a source, take the information of the source and put it in your own words. However, if you only change a few words or phrases, or change the order of the sentences, that will usually be considered plagiarism.
Plagiarism Summary
Plagiarism is stealing another person’s ideas. Plagiarism is not a good behaviour because consequences may be severe and troublesome. The consequences may vary by which school you go to. There are also different ways to plagiarize. For example, buying papers off the internet or even using your own written paper twice! Plagiarism may seem hard to avoid but there are ways to prevent you from plagiarizing.
There are in fact many ways to avoid plagiarism. To prevent the risk of plagiarism, you must give credit to the source when you use someone else’s ideas, opinion or theory. You must also give credit to any information that is not common knowledge or you can paraphrase the ideas. Another strategy for avoiding plagiarism is to quotation marks on the information from the text and write “according to ____ “. Paraphrasing is also an option, but when you are finished, you should check the paraphrase to the text for large similarities.
Paraphrasing is a very helpful skill to learn. Paraphrasing is when you use someone else’s ideas or information, except that you must put the information in your own words. Paraphrasing is helpful because it is not plagiarism and it still successfully expresses the information needed.
Summary
Plagiarism
From: IU code of student rights, responsibilities, and conduct.
Plagiarism is when you copy others work without giving credit. Plagiarism is also when you hand in a paper you have already handed in before. It is very important to give credit where credit is due. If you don’t it could result in failing or in a serious case, expulsion.
You can avoid plagiarism by putting the author’s name in brackets after a quote. If you use an Internet site, the sites URL should be written after you say something that came from that site. You must give credit when you use: another person’s idea, any facts or statistics, graphs, drawings, and any piece of information that is not common knowledge.
In your paper you may use paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is where you put other people’s work in your own words. This is not plagiarism as long as it’s mostly your own ideas. However if you do not put it in your own words it will be counted as plagiarism.

Plagiarism is when you copy off from either a person’s work, or a website, without giving credit to the author that wrote it before you. You can be using their idea or their words. You could also be downloading or buying a paper on your subject online, or using a paper you wrote a long time ago. It means you take their idea, and then you turn it into your own.
How you can avoid plagiarism is by simply putting in brackets saying the author’s name and their quotes that they may have written. You must give credit to the author whenever you use their ideas or opinions. (Be sure to also give credit even if you use a photo). Write down some new ideas on your topic, and use those. As long as you cite whose information it is, then you’re fine.
Paraphrase means you redo or reword from what someone else has written. It is when you take someone’s idea or opinion, but switch the words around to make it seem like its yours. Again, if you’re going to use anybody’s ideas or opinions you must cite them.
Plagiarism
(These guidelines are from the IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct; all students are required to follow them.)
Plagiarism is an idea, expresion, plot, theory or opinion taken from another and used as your own. Plagerism is when you take someone elses actual spoken or writen words. If you write something that is common knowledge which means that it can be found it alot of places and alot of people know about it, it doesnt count as plagiarism. You must cite where you got your information cleary so it is not plagiarism anymore.
To avoid Plagiarism you must cite the source cleary. You cant take someone elses words directly change a couple words and says its yours. A stratagy is put in quotations everything that you have taken directly out of someone else.
Paraphrasing is using someone elses ideas and putting them in your own words. Even though you are putting them in your own words you cant take all the credit for something that isnt all you.
Plagiarism is when you take some ones words or ideas and use them as your own. If you cite where you got the information from, it is no longer plagiarism. If you do not cite very clearly and there is possibility of a mix-up then it is still plagiarism. If you use another persons ideas, opinions, theories, facts, statistics, graphs, drawings etc. Be very sure to CLEARLY cite where they have come from. When you are paraphrasing you have to make sure that you writing, drawing etc. is still giving off the same idea as the original. You can avoid plagiarism by simply citing the source of your information or by only using your own ideas. Some stratagies for doing so are to use your own words and cite, make sure the reader knows what is your work and what is an original. You also have to cite an idea or theory just as much as you have to cite some one else's writing. Paraphrasing is using some ones ideas, theories etc. but changing it into your own words. Even if it is your own words, if you’re using someone else’s ideas you must cite them. People should and do paraphrase so that the information is at their level.
Why climbing is a challenge and all the things that could go wrong.
Getting lost
Injuring yourself
Coming across dangerous animals
Climbing a mountain is an extreme challenge. There are many things that can go terribly wrong. Either, you can follow the wrong path, and get lost. You can also severely injure yourself. Or even come across dangerous and unwanted creatures.
While climbing you might find yourself taking the wrong trail. If you do so, you will loose your way and have to retrace your steps. If you go the wrong way then you might end up in a complete different location, causing much confusion among you and your fellow hiking companions. Loosing your way is a big issue for climbers.
Climbing is also associated with injury, which is fairly true. Whenever you climb, there is a chance you will slip, fall and damage something. Mountains are not very safe environments, so you must be incredibly cautious when climbing along these areas, you could break a bone or two if you don't. Pain and injury is a common issue for climbers.
Whenever in mountain ranges, you should keep your eyes peeled for threatening animals such as bears, delusional deer, mountain goats or cougars. These and many more are dangerous animals that you do not want to come across while peacefully climbing up a mountain. They would most likely bring your journey and life to a tragic end. Dangerous animals are also threats to climbers.
Mountain climbing is very risky. Many unfortunate events can happen to you while doing so, and you will find yourself in perilous situations. You could loose your way. Injure yourself. Meet carnivorous creatures and more. These are just a few reasons why mountain climbing is a dangerous challenge.
Plagiarism
(These guidelines are from the IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct; all students are required to follow them.)
Plagiarism is when someone uses information, graphics, quotes and more from someone else without giving credit to the original writer . It is when you take someone's idea and pretend it is your own.
To avoid plagiarism there are a few strategies you can take on. Some of these are: always put in quotation anything coming from the text, put in brackets the name of the writer of all quotes coming directly from a text or a person's oral statement or lecture. Also reread the text and rewrite the idea in your own words. Check your paraphrases and compare it to the original text, to make sure the idea is the same but not the manner you wrote it.
Paraphrasing is when you use someone's idea but rephrase it in your own words. This is an important skill that will be of great use throughout your academic experience. Even though you rearranged the words, you still ought to acknowledge and give credit to the source of your information.- Salome

Paraphrasing is when the writer uses his/her own words and let’s the reader know the source of information. Paraphrasing is not just rearranging or replacing a few words. All the information from the original writing must be recorded accurately. To paraphrase the writer must indicate which parts are taken directly from the source by putting them in quotation marks and citing the page numbers. It is good to check your paraphrase against the original text to make sure you have not accidentally used the same words, and that the information is accurate.

Color Coded Essay
In this essay I’m writing about the products that kids want to buy! When one person gets the new product everyone wants it. Every one wants the new cool gadget! When products have more features, kids want them more! Let me tell you why!!
When a person gets the new product everyone wants it! If one person get the new iPod and shows it to all of their friends, then their friend start to want it. Then their friends get it and show all their friends, and soon the new iPod is the biggest product sold!
Everyone wants the new cool gadget! When the first iPod came out everyone wanted it because it was new and cool but now its old news. The iPad is the new cool gadget. The new cool gadget back then is old news to us.
When products have more features kids tend to want it more! For example, the iPod touch had all the application features and kids really want it. Each new computer has more features than the old one so kids want the new one. Now televisions are three dimensional which is a big new feature and a lot of people want it.
In general kids want to buy products that, everyone else has, the new cool gadget and the product with the most features.
Dear Grandchildren,
I am living in 2010, and I want to tell you about my life now. My average day, where I go to school might interest you. My house, and whats inside it will be much different than yours. And last, the technology, which will be a huge shock to you! I hope you enjoy learning about my life in 2010.
My average day isn't that special, but you may find it interesting. I get up at around 7:30, and I get ready for school. at 8:20 I usually arrive at school, and then I learn for approximately 7 hours, from 8:30 to 3:20. Then, my mom picks me up and if I don't have dance that day I sometimes have a friend over or go to someones house. When I get home I normally have something to eat, then start my homework. Once I'm done my homework I usually go on facebook and skype. After that I eat dinner, then go on the computer for a while more and text, I shower, eat something, then at around 10:00 I go to bed. My day may be a little different than yours, but I think there are probably some similarities.
My house, which is probably not nearly as nice as yours, will grab you for sure. It has three floors: a basement, a main floor and a top floor. The basement has five rooms, the office (where we have the computer), the den (where we have air hockey and ping pong), and the laundry room are probably the most used on that floor. On the main floor we have the kitchen, dining room, and a play room for my younger brother. Upstairs is where we have all four bedrooms and a bathroom for each of them. We also have all our books in another room upstairs. Now that you have explored my house you can learn about technology.
Last, but not least, technology, the most changed thing. When you hear about my technology you will think it is ridiculous! One of the newest pieces of technology is something called the Ipad. It is a touch screen laptop made by apple. Another new item is 3-D TV's. They just came out last month, but are not the best quality yet. You probably have much better technology than that, but that is what I have right now.
Now that you have heard all about my life, maybe you can compare it to yours! You have heard about my average day, which is probably a little like yours. You have gone through my house and all that's in it. And, you have learnt about my 'old fashioned' technology. Since you have got the experience of reading about your grandma's childhood life, you can write something to your future grandchildren!
