NEEDS MORE WORK
Anytime you use someone else's creative work, you must give credit back to the original creator. This includes words, phrases, pictures, images, music, etc. If you did not come up with the original idea or concept, then you must give credit to the person who did. Otherwise, you are stealing (plagiarizing) from that person and passing their work off as your own.
To avoid plagiarism, you must cite your sources in the format required by your teacher. Use the resources on this page to assist you in making sure your sources are cited properly. See your friendly neighborhood or school librarian for assistance if needed.
What does plagiarism look like:
1) Copying word for word from a source without quotation marks or citations.
2) Summarizing someone else's words without giving credit through citations.
3) Using pictures, music, or images (even if altered by you) without giving credit.
