Copying Not Allowed!If your teacher asks you to write a report in your own words, she expects you not to copy.
Not from a Web page. Not from your best friend. Not even if you write it in your own handwriting or retype it yourself.

Plagiarism
Taking others’ exact words and pretending that they’re your own is plagiarism.
It’s cheating and is against your school rules.
But, It’s So EasyIt’s hard not to copy. Especially
when you find a Web page that tells what you want to say so well. It is so easy to copy and paste. E-mail, too, makes it easy for kids to copy each other’s work.
Instead, try reading the Web page, closing it, and writing the information in your own words.

When It Is Fair to Copy
It’s okay to copy and paste someone else’s words into your schoolwork if
• you use quotation marks around the words and• you tell who wrote the words and where you
found them.
It’s okay to copy and paste photos, drawings, and graphs into a report if you tell who made it or where you found it.
