Plagiarism

• Using some or all of somebody’s work or idea, and saying that you created it

• Copying and pasting text, images, video, or anything that someone else created without giving them credit.

• It’s cheating, and it’s against school rules. • If a teacher asks you to write a report or project, the teacher

expects you not to copy, whether it’s from a webpage or from your best friend.

• Even if you copy something into your own handwriting or retype it yourself, it’s still plagiarism
