"The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are." Samuel Johnson, Letter to Hester Thrale, 21 September 1773. Thinkwrite.

"When Staples says that he grew up as a good boy, and then states he had been in a half-dozen fist fights, each audience member may begin to wonder how being in fistfights is still considered being a 'good boy.'"

Avoiding Plagiarism

What's plagiarism, again?

 But what about this: http://questioncopyright.org/minute_memes   

Thinkwrite: Do you agree or disagree with this short? Explain.

But you "Always give credit where...."

Not only do you need to quote accurately, you must avoid this tricky problem:

Student paraphrase: He is scarcely able to hold a knife to a raw chicken, let alone someone’s throat.

Staples' essay:  As a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife to a raw chicken -- let alone hold one to a person' throat -- I was ....

How would you fix this situation?

Now we see what TurnItIn can do to help you check that you are citing your sources clearly. Check your paraphrasing?
