Teaching your kids about writing a research paper...........

My instructor gave me this link.

It is a slide-show (a Powerpoint presentation) with 19 slides on what Plagiarism is and isn't.  (Notice and practice how to spell "plagiarism"! -- pla-giar-ism.  One way to remember it is that the middle part is kind of like the word, "liar", but with a "g".  Another is to remember that the middle part is spelled "giar".)

In my opinion, there should have been at least two more examples of how to correctly paraphrase or summarize a sentence.  They give five "wrong" ways of writing and only three "correct" ways of writing.

I think Slide 16 explains "non-plagiarism" the best.
