The document is a comic about a student getting caught plagiarizing a history project. A monkey man appears and educates the student about plagiarism, copyright, and netiquette. He explains that plagiarism is using another's work without citation and there will be consequences like failing grades or suspension. He also discusses how to avoid plagiarism by citing sources. The monkey man further explains copyright and how it protects works from being copied without permission, and that violations can result in lawsuits. Finally, he stresses the importance of online etiquette and treating others online with respect.

away? peace.
Well first of all
everybody knows
that you are to
dumb to know all
those big words
you “wrote” in
your paper.
And second off
all, everybody can see the
copy right sign. If you really
wrote that paper, that sign
wouldn't be there.

5. Thank
you, tha
nk you
very
much.
No! Don’t
leave. Tell
me what
to do.

6. Wahhhhh!

7. Whoa!

8. Yes it is I. The
amazing
monkey man.
I am here to talk to you
about
plagiarism, netiquette, and
copy right.
What? A
monkey?
Because I am
awesome like
that.
What are
you
doing
here ?
Why?

9. First I ask you what is plagiarism. Well according
to dictionary.com “plagiarism is the unauthorized
use or close imitation of the language and
thoughts of another author and the representation
of them as one's own original work.”
You see what I did there. Even though I
said exactly what dictionary.com said, I
also told you where I got my information
from.
I still don’t
understand
how to avoid
plagiarizing.

10. Here are some ways to prevent plagiarizing:
Cite every piece of information that is not your own work. Use
quotation marks every time you use the author's words. Make it
clear that the work you are using is someone else's idea.
If you fail to do this things, there will be
consequences. You will receive a 0 on the
project. You will probably get suspended or
expelled. You are lucky you are 9 years old and
not a 30 year old because if you were than you
would probably get arrested. DO YOUR OWN
WORK! It is not worth the trouble. Even if you
copy one sentence, you will still be punished.

11. The next thing I am going to talk to you about is copy
right. Copyright is almost the same thing as
plagiarism. Copyright was made to prevent
plagiarism. For instance did you know that The
largest threat to the internet is
copyright.(http://www.benedict.com/info/info.aspx)
If you don’t want anyone to use your work or picture
you can go to copyright.gov and copyright it.
“You can copyrighted works such as news
stories, software, novels, screenplays, graphics,
pictures, even email.”
(http://www.benedict.com/info/info.aspx) People
copyright their work to protect their work from
people how would copy and paste your work.
Haaa! Flying
pig.

12. Copyright was made to prevent people from using other
people's work. “If you use a copyrighted work without
permission and your usage is not exempt under copyright
law, you are infringing upon the copyright holder's rights. The
person who copyrighted his work might sue you for 150,000
dollars.” (http://copyright.southernct.edu/Basics/basics8.htm)
You are lucky you didn’t get suspended or
expelled because the place where you got your
information was copyrighted so that means you
can use that information as long as you cite where
you got it from.

13. Now before I go, I would like to talk to you about
one more thing. Netiquette is the rules you must
follow when you communicate online. According
to albion.com/netiquette/rule1.html, when
communicating online you must follow the golden
rule that your parents or teachers have taught
you.
Sigh.
What is the I wonder when he
golden rule? is going to leave.
The golden rule say to treat
Hmmm… I could
another person as you
really go for a taco
would want him to treat
right now.
you.
So when you communicate
online make sure you don’t treat
anybody with disrespect because
all you see is their avatar in your
screen. You can’t see how your
words affect the person you are
talking too.
Why are you
telling this to
me? I don’t even
have an email
account. Because I can see the
future, and in the future your
words will hurt somebody so
badly that they will commit
GASP! suicide.

14. Never forget that the person you
are talking to is a real person with
feelings that can be hurt.
Monkey man is
out! Peace!
What the?
Where did the
tiger come
from?

15. Ahhhhhh!

16. How does he do
that? Oh well time to
get a taco.
