All information for this PowerPoint taken from:
Goldenberg, Phyllis. A Student Guide to Writing
a Research Paper. New York: SadlierOxford, 1997.
Good Advice: Whenever you are doing research, always cite your sources.
In plain English: give title, author, publisher, etc. of anything* you have taken from somewhere other than your own brain.
*(words, charts, artwork, lyrics, ideas, etc., etc.)
Plagiarism defined:
To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own; use (a created production) without crediting the source.
Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary
We are using:
MLA (Modern Language Association) Style
of Documenting Sources.
Note: There are other ways of citing sources, your teacher, college professor and/or college librarian will have information about what style to use. See:

When in doubt, ask!
Do not plagiarize!
