We will start off by reviewing the Powerpoint on coherence from last class.
Warm-Up Activity
Today, I will pass around a sheet of paper. You must fill in the blank on the paper with a noun that had not been written.
Defining Plagiarism
Plagiarism can be defined in many different ways. I want to know what your current understanding of plagiarism is. In your group come up with a definition (the definition should not be plagiarized) and write it on the white board.
Diana Hacker's definition of plagiarism is, “Three different acts are considered plagiarism: (1) failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas, (2) failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation marks, and (3) failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own words.”
Working with Plagiarism
In your groups, you will work together to complete this PLAGIARISM WORKSHEET. You can use any resources you have to complete this worksheet.
Acknowledge or Not
In your groups you will work together to complete this WORKSHEET ON ACKNOWLEDGING SOURCES. It can sometimes be difficult to decide if some information must be cited. Remember that it is always better to be safe than sorry, so if you are unsure, cite the source.
Summarizing
This POWERPOINT ON SUMMARIZING provides basic techniques for making good summaries.
Practice
You will have the opportunity to practice summarizing. In your groups select one person to be "the eyes." The others must turn their backs to the front of the room and close their eyes. "The eyes" will watch a video and share the main points with the rest of his/her group. The rest of the group must work together to construct a summary of the video based on the information that "the eyes" provided.
