Plagiarism

You are using a nonfiction book about dogs to write a report. The librarian tells you to take notes. What should you do?  

• Copy the words exactly as the author wrote them and use them as your own 
• Read the author's words and then re-write the facts in your own words 
• Make a copy of the pages of the book and use that as your report
  
• Copy your friend's notes 

 Which is an example of plagiarism? 

• including facts in your paper with a website link  
• including a photo in your paper with the photographer's first and last name 
• including a quote in your paper and giving the source 
• including facts in your paper and not giving the source

• Because you're not paying to use a person's ideas or words
