- 3. • AVOIDING PLAGIARISM:WRITERS — STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS ALIKE — OCCASIONALLY FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOURCES PROPERLY. THE WORD PLAGIARISM, WHICH DERIVES FROM THE LATIN WORD FOR “KIDNAPPING, ”REFERS TO THE UNACKNOWLEDGED USE OF ANOTHER’S WORDS, IDEAS, OR INFORMATION. STUDENTS SOMETIMES MISTAKENLY ASSUME THAT PLAGIARIZING OCCURS ONLY WHEN ANOTHER WRITER’S EXACT WORDS ARE USED WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGMENT. IN FACT, PLAGIARISM ALSO APPLIES TO SUCH DIVERSE FORMS OF EXPRESSION AS MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS AND VISUAL IMAGES AS WELL AS IDEAS AND STATISTICS. THEREFORE, KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU MUST INDICATE THE SOURCE OF ANY BORROWED INFORMATION OR IDEAS YOU USE IN YOUR ESSAY, WHETHER YOU HAVE PARAPHRASED, SUMMARIZED, OR QUOTED DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE OR HAVE REPRODUCED IT OR REFERRED TO IT IN SOME OTHER WAY. REMEMBER ESPECIALLY THE NEED TO DOCUMENT ELECTRONIC SOURCES FULLY AND ACCURATELY. INFORMATION, IDEAS, AND IMAGES FROM ELECTRONIC SOURCES REQUIRE ACKNOWLEDGMENT IN EVEN MORE DETAIL THAN THOSE FROM PRINT SOURCES (AND ARE OFTEN EASIER TO DETECT AS PLAGIARISM IF THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED). SOME PEOPLE PLAGIARIZE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CONVENTIONS FOR USING AND ACKNOWLEDGING SOURCES. OTHERS PLAGIARIZE BECAUSE THEY KEEP SLOPPY NOTES AND THUS FAIL TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THEIR OWN AND THEIR SOURCES’ IDEAS. IF YOU KEEP CAREFUL NOTES, YOU WILL NOT MAKE THIS SERIOUS MISTAKE. ANOTHER REASON SOME PEOPLE PLAGIARIZE IS THAT THEY FEEL INTIMIDATED BY THE WRITING TASK OR THE DEADLINE. IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS ANXIETY ABOUT YOUR WORK, SPEAK TO ME.

- 5. INTEGRATING QUOTATIONS: MLA STYLE 1.Every time you paraphrase, summarize, or directly quote a source (in this case the film), you must identify the material as quoted. 2. For quotations that refer to one character and are under four lines of text, we can use "Quotation Marks." 3. Always introduce the scene or character who is speaking. For example, you might write: When Harry, Hermione, and Ron are caught in the hallway with a petrified cat, Filch insists, “You did it!” (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). 4. We must include the name of the source to which we refer. The citation will come between the last quotation mark and the period.
- 7. One day, Hogwartsschool tries to contact Harry by owl. Everyone is at the table but Harry, and he is fetching the mail. This conversation shows how the Dursleys react: DUDLEY. Dad, look! Harry's got a letter!! HARRY. Hey, give it back! It's mine! VERNON. Yours? Who'd be writing to you? (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone)((Harry Potter). When Uncle Vernon finds out who is writing to Harry, he nails the mailbox slot closed. This shows how mean the Dursleys are to Harry. They do not want Harry to know that he is a wizard. If you quote multiple speakers from a film, you must use a different format. Begin each line with the appropriate character’s name indented 1-inch (10 spaces) from the left margin and written in all capital letters followed by a period. Here is an example: We will not use quotation marks or italicize the quote in the case of multiple speakers; the indentation will be indication enough.
