8.TT.1.1

If you are doing a research paper, it's okay to look up things for research and copy down a few things, but only in your **own** words. If you directly copy all the information on the topic you are researching, that is called plagiarism. You should list a works cited section at the end of your presentation and give credit to the websites you got the information from. You may also list the names of people who gave you information as well. Some people might ask "How will they know if I plagiarised?" Most projects and papers require you to list a works cited section. Your instructor will most likely check the websites to see if the information is true. If plagiarised, the paper will be true; word for word. If caught, you will most likely lose most of the grade.
