Is it important to cite your sources?

Miss Landin with let you know if your answer was correct!
When you are citing- what will ALWAYS in the (parentheses) no matter what?
(Author last name or SOURCE of where you got the info)
ex. (J.K. Rowling) or (Master Class).
Why do we use the C.R.A.A.P test?
To test the credibility of a website or source!
How could you use a lead in/ signal phrase to disagree with a statement an author made?
Miss Landin will decide if it is correct!
Can you plagiarise even if you're a celebrity?
Yes! Vanilla Ice and Queen. You still have to following citation laws even if you're big!
Paraphrase the following:
"So many people were at the beach that it was almost impossible to find a place to sit and put our coolers!"
Miss Landin will decide if you are correct.
Last name with no page number in the parentheses!

YES.
What are some potential consequences of plagiarism?
- expelled or suspended from college
- losing your job
- detention or having to redo a paper or class
Why would you choose to paraphrase instead of quoting?
If the quote is very long, if you wanted to make a point more succinct, if you wanted to the quote to fit the way that you speak as an author.
If you already used the authors name in your lead in phrase do you need to still put it in the (parentheses)?
Technically no! But it doesn't hurt!
Ex. Dr. Seuss said "I do not like Green Eggs and Ham" (pg. 31) COULD WORK but so could Dr. Seuss said "I do not like Green Eggs and Ham" (Seuss, pg. 31)
What does PIE mean when it comes to Purpose?
P- Persuade
I- Inform
E- Entertain
Why are lead in phrases important?
They give you context on who the author is, if they are making an argument or not, where the piece might be from / what kind of piece it might be, etc.
Yes! You cannot use it to write your whole essay, but you could use it to brainstorm a 5 paragraph outline, or find synonyms!
Do you need quotation marks when you paraphrase?
No- Miss Landin might've told you that you did. That is because Miss Landin was having a Hannah Montana day where everybody makes mistakes, and everybody has those days.
How are you supposed to format citations when it comes to writing in a quote in the text?
Lead in / signal phrase "witty quote," (Author name).
The source is current to whatever you are researching. It does not need to have been published within the last 2 years.
Give me an example of a lead in or signal phrase!
Miss Landin will decide if you got the points or not.
Is there a reason to plagiarize?
No! Not even if you need to write an essay quick. Instead what you could do is ask for an extension! I'll give you one!
