Let me tell you what it is. Stealing somebody else's ideas. Taking their words and claiming they're your own. Plagiarism, man, it's just wrong. It's cheating, it's stealing, whatcha need another reason? I knew this kid from class, his name was Steven. He had a paper due on April 17th. He got on the web and started researching. He found an article, it was quite eloquent. And it sounded so good why write it again. So he copied and pasted it into his paper It was word for word, man, verbatim, He didn't cite a source or write a bibliography, Little did he know he was plagiarizing. He took the paper to class the next day. The teacher failed him and all the kids were saying . . . OOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You plagiarizzled! HAHA! And now you're in big troubizzle! Don't plagiarizzle. You get into troubizzle! Don't plagiarizzle. You get into troubizzle! Don't plagiarizzle. You get into troubizzle! Don't plagiarizzle. You get into troubizzle! Like oooooooooooooooooooooooo! Plagiarism. How do you avoid it. It's really quite simple all you gotta to is this. Give credit, where credit is due. Cite your source if it wasn't written by you. You can use quotes or paraphrase. And when you do, cite the author's last name. Write according to and then acknowledge the author Like J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter. Now put it down in the bibliography. And make sure you format it correctly. In the MLA citation style And tell that plagiarism bye-bye y'all. Finally to avoid plagiarizzle, Use your own words and be original. Cause if you plagiarize you're only cheating yourself. So speak for yourself and nobody's gonna yell . . . OOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Youplagiarizzled! HAHA! And now you're in big troubizzle!
