Writing for your
        Teacher

  Keep it easy and honest
This is my car - I love my
                       car
It’s my red car with the crazy
                     paint job.




   Did I tell you that I love my
   red car?
This is my friend, Max.
 He loves my red car, so
               one day...
HE TOOK
MY CAR
AND....
PAINTED
IT....
BLUE!!!


With a different drawing - stars!
Then Max said it was   HIS
                       car!
??
                ??


??



     ???
Do you think what Max did
        was right?




      • What would you call this kind
        of behaviour?
Let’s think about
  another situation:
• This is a famous author in
  Quebec, Anne Villeneuve.
She wrote this book. It’s
     a great book!
But what do you think if I
 did this and said that I
     wrote the book?

        •Is it
        true?
                   Ellen Goldfinch
        •Is it
        right?
Do you think what I did was
           right?




       • What would you call this kind
         of behaviour?
There’s a word for
copying someone’s ideas
    and saying that it’s
         your own idea.
    • Anyone know what it is?
PLAGIARIS
       M
  • Sounds pretty bad, doesn’t it?
  • Have you ever plagiarized?
But.....
• The book says it better
• I don’t know everything.
• What if I just use some of the
  words?
• I’m not trying to steal; I just
  want to get my homework
  done.
Quotation Marks and
Citations to the Rescue
  • “Plagiarism is copying
    someone else’s work and
    pretending that the work and
    its ideas are your own.” -
    “Ellen Goldfinch on
    Plagiarism”
    http//www.EllenGoldfinch.com
THE GOOD NEWS
     **When you tell your teacher
       where you got your
       information from, it’s NOT
       PLAGIARISM!!**



     YAY!!!!!
Just remember

             “Yay”
      Use quotation marks if you copy
       something word for word and
       ALWAYS WRITE WHERE
       YOU GOT YOUR
       INFORMATION FROM.
AND YOU WON’T GET IN
  TROUBLE LIKE THESE
                TWO
  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR
    ATTENTION AND KEEP
    SMILING!
BY THE WAY:
Max IS my friend,
he never took my
car, BUT he’s a high
school teacher who
came up with the
wonderful idea of
explaining what
plagiarism is by
talking about cars.
                       Thanks, Max!

Editor's Notes

  1. What colour is the car? It’s got a crazy drawing on the hood and the roof.
  2. What colour is the car? It’s got a crazy drawing on the hood and the roof.
  3. So whose car is it?
  4. After we talk about this, I pick up a mirror and let the kids see their own reflection? Have you ever done anything like this? What about copying from the Internet or Wikipedia or any web site.
