Alright
I want to play this game, but my mom won't let me
We made an agreement
That if I managed to beat all three levels, then I will be able to continue playing
But if I don't
Then I'll
Have to continue writing
my 5 paragraph essay on the industrial revolution
Let's just do a quick Google Search on the Industrial Revolution
This History.com article should work.
yes
This looks very nice. Let's just highlight the entire thing
and copy it
master
nice happening
and paste it into microsoft word
Now looks like I did it
By ME
perfect
Now wait just a minute there
do you realize what you just did
I just used someone else's article
is there anything wrong with that?
yes there's something very wrong with that
that's called plagiarism
why what's wrong with that
Plagiarism is the unauthroized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of
another author and the representation of them as one's own original
work
simply put you just stole someone elses work and said it was your own
instead of just copy-pasting
you could paraphrase it
paraphrasing is to restate something using different words
That sounds cool. Any other options?
Of course there are
You can use quotation
Quotation means "to repeat or copy words of another"
you can quote a certain person
or article. But if you do so, you would have to use quotation marks around the quotes
showing that it is someone else's words
but you can also
creata an abstract
an abstract a summary of a text. Just take what's important in a text
or the article, and put it into one small article
how do i let them know that i wasn't the one who said the words when i use a
quotation
that's easy
just make a bibliography
what on earth is a bibliography
a bibliography is a list of source materials used or consulted in the preparation of a written work
In this case, it's your paragraph
And since you've used the article
you must find out who made it
when they mad it, who the editor is, what website it is from, and
Wait wait wait, how am I supposed to find all those?
You know what? Let's use EasyBib
EasyBib is a website you can use to easily make bibliographies
All you need to do is sign in, click "Create Bibliography"
and enter in the URL of the article.
You're done! It's that easy
Wow. That was easy. Thanks, mysterious voice I've never heard before!
You're welcome
