Review From Friday

• What is plagiarism?- copying text w/o quotes and citing source- paraphrasing text w/o citing source- using another student’s work

What does it mean to cite your research?• Show which book, web site, video, person, etc.

you found the info from• Example:Although it’s impossible to be accurate, the total people killed in the Armenian Genocide is between 800,000 – 1,500,000.Although it’s impossible to be accurate, “the total people killed in the Armenian Genocide is between 800,000 – 1,500,000” (Palmer 12).• What’s different?

Practice makes perfect• Write a sentence using a direct quote from the

paragraph on your handout.In order for a genocide to happen, it “requires central planning and a machinery to implement it” (Palmer 13).• Paraphrase a main point from the paragraph.Beginning in 1915, Armenians were tortured and murdered by the Ottoman Empire in Turkey. Their money and property was stolen by the government, and they were forced into the desert where most died of hunger and thirst (Palmer 13).

Remember . . .

• When citing a book, you need to include the author's (or authors’ if more than one) last name and page number where info was found.

As you find your research - book
