I recieved the following email message today from one of our teachers. "My 12 year old daughter unabashedly lifts passages from articles she finds on the internet and inserts them into her projects and reports. Up til now her teachers haven't explained what's wrong about that. I was wondering if you had any information geared toward younger students that details what constitutes plagarism, why it's a bad thing and how to avoid it. Thanks!" I applaud her mothering skills and would love to send her some great resources. I work with high school students - so the sources I have collected won't help. If you work with elementary through middle school students - I know you will be able to recommend some great sources. I will post a hit. Thanks for all your help!
