How
do you give credit to your sources of information
If your teacher asks you to write a paper, or do a
multimedia project on pyramids, chances are that you never lived in
ancient Egypt. Since this report is not a piece of fiction, you need
to find out what experts have found about pyramids. You
know that you can get some great information from the internet. READ
it, take NOTES on it, USE the information that you have found, BUT you
must give the author credit or attribution.
Try this! You have found a very cool website on pyramids that you
will use for that big report. Let's go to NOVA
Online/Pyramid . Now we will pretend that you will be using this
site to help you with your report. How should you cite this
page? Go to this site, Tekmom

paper.
Did you Think
Your Teacher
Wouldn't Know
Your teacher went to college for many years, and is
a very smart person. Your teacher can tell if something is written
by a "kiddo", or a professional writer. But, there's
more. Let's see what your teacher can
do.
Go back to NOVA
Online/Pyramid and find any text section that you WISH you had written
yourself. Highlight it with your mouse. Right click and copy,
then open Google or
Altavista. Right click and paste the text that you copied from the
pyramid site. Run a search, and yikes, it will show your teacher
where you copied it from. It is easy for your teacher to track down plagiarism.
She can even pinpoint the text on the web
page using the Edit> Find feature!
