- 4. What is Plagiarism? •From MLA 7th ed: “Plagiarism is derived from the Latin Word plagiarius (“kidnapper”), to plagiarize means “to commit literary theft” and to “present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source” – Merriam- Webster’s collegiate Dictionary 11th ed; 2003 • Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. • Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly. • Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material

Editor's Notes
- #4 Academic Integrity: you represent not only yourself but your parents, your beliefs, and your school “Think Critically, Live Honorably, and Lead Confidently” Teachers are very smart and they have years of experience with the JTP. They know every trick in the book and they are looking for plagiarism. Do not cut and paste, do not paraphrase w/out citation, and do not fake your citations.
- #6 Paraphrasing? Copy and pasting from the web (“There was no author”)? Pictures and Images? Common knowledge? Incorrect Citation?
- #7 The best way to avoid plagiarizing is to be aware of what you are doing (researching, writing, brainstorming) and to always give credit where its due. The burden of proof is on you. You can not claim ignorance. It is your responsibility to cite where every source came from. If anything is not wholly and 100% an original idea or product then you MUST cite it. EasyBib will help you format your cites but when in doubt add as much information as possible. The key is to give enough information that a stranger would be able to track down that source. Citations are like breadcrumbs leading back to the original source that you found.
- #9 Definition from OED online Questions about Literary Criticism and paper content should be directed towards your teacher. Questions about finding resources, doing library research, or citing source may be directed to me. “Consideration or analysis of a text” Language, Structure, Biography, History, etc…
- #11 19th Century: If author’s death date is 1800-1899 20th Century: If author’s death date is 1900-1959 - Contemporary Literary Criticism: If author’s death date is after Dec. 31, 1959 or if author is still living.
- #12 Topic finder How it works: This tool takes the titles, subjects, and approximately the first 100 words from a subset of your top results and feeds them into an algorithm. Keywords shown in the graphics are those found most often in the text with your search term. The topic for “The Handmaid’s Tale” might bring up expected connections from the text like “Feminist”, along with unexpected but commonly related terms like the names of related works and their common themes, ex. Edible Woman and “Owning” or Cat’s Eye and “memory”
- #13 - What is a Secondary Source? - http://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/faq/poor.html Dickens and Poor Law secondary resource - The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 (PLAA), known widely as the New Poor Law, was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed by the Whig government of Earl Grey that reformed the country's poverty relief system (excepting Scotland, which reformed its poor law in 1845). The PLAA curbed the cost of poor relief, which had been spiralling throughout the nineteenth century, and led to the creation of workhouses. The law arose out of a wider drive for Poor Law reform, and completely replaced earlier legislation based on the Poor Law of 1601. The PLAA was written after an investigation by the 1832 Royal Commission into the Operation of the Poor Laws which included Edwin Chadwick, George Nicholls, John Bird Sumner and Nassau William Senior. The Act has been described as "the classic example of the fundamental Whig-Benthamite reforming legislation of the period",[1] and was based on Malthus's principle that population increased faster rather than resources unless checked, Ricardo's "iron law of wages" and Bentham's doctrine that people did what was pleasant and would tend to claim relief rather than working.[2] The Amendment Act was passed two years after the 1832 Reform Act extended the franchise to the middle-classes. Some historians have argued that this was a major factor in the PLAA being passed. Parliament radicals such as Cobbett defended the right of the poor to relief, and the legislation was widely opposed by press (notably The Times). Chadwick was unsatisfied by the law that resulted from his report. The importance of the Poor Law declined with the rise of the welfare state in the 20th century. In 1948, the PLAA was repealed by the National Assistance Act 1948, which created the National Assistance Board to act as a residual relief agency.[3]

- #24 “The Modern Language Association publishes two guides for writing and documenting research. The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers provides guidance for high school and undergraduate students who are preparing research papers for academic credit. The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing advises graduate students, scholars, and professional writers on the protocols of advanced research writing, peer review, and publication.” (mla.org)
