Avoiding Plagiarism
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is the use of another person’s work or ideas without giving proper credit
Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to:
Directly copying sections of text from a written work without citation
Reusing images, artwork, videos, or other visual materials without credit
Claiming someone else’s idea as your own
Can’t just paraphrase another’s thesis
Why should you avoid it?
You build pride in creating your own work that reflects your abilities and knowledge
Plagiarism is an extremely offensive action and can result in:
A failing grade
Disciplinary action at school
Disqualification from History Fair
How do you prevent it?
Properly cite ALL material that is not your own. Do this by using in-text citations, footnotes, or endnotes
Use quotation marks and citation when using words directly copied from another text
Give credit immediately when paraphrasing another’s wording, ideas, or conclusions
Take good notes. Detailed notes should record if something is an original quote, an original idea from a source, or
your own conclusion or interpretation. Notes should also include the citation information for that source you are
taking notes on
What is common knowledge?
Common knowledge is something you can reasonably expect your audience to know or is used in multiple sources
without citation, you do not need to cite common knowledge
Examples: John F Kennedy was a president of the United States, the capital of the USA is Washington DC, water is
a liquid
If you unsure if it is common knowledge, consult your teacher

Plagiarism Exercise

Below is a section of text from a secondary source, Nature's Metropolis by Wiiliam Cronon, followed by examples of plagiarism and then proper use and citation.

“The railroads had made Chicago the most important meeting place between East and

West. But they also continued the process begun long before with the harbor and the

canal, and before that in the trading village and the booster dreams that transformed it. In

Chicago and its hinterlands, first and second nature mingled to form a single world.”

Examples of Plagiarism: In conclusion, railroads were important because they had made Chicago the most important meeting place between East and West. But they also continued the process begun long before with the harbor and the canal. In this example, the text was copied word for word but was not put into quotes or cited. The railroads made Chicago and important meeting place, continuing the tradition begun with harbors, canals, and the trading village. Chicago was truly an example of first and second natures interacting to create a single world. In this example, different words are used in places, but the word order is the same and the original author’s conclusion is still being used without recognition. Examples of Proper Citation: Student may use either MLA or Turabian citation formats--the key is to keep a consistent style. MLA uses an in-line citation text and Turabian uses a footnote style so that the citation appears at the concluding page. MLA: It is important to remember that, “railroads were important because they had made Chicago the most important meeting place between East and West. But they also continued the process begun long before with the harbor and the canal” (Cronon 92). TURABIAN:. It is important to remember that, “railroads were important because they had made Chicago the most important meeting place between East and West. But they also continued the process begun long before with the harbor and the canal.” [1] [1] William Cronon, Nature’s Metropolis: Chicago and the Great West (New York: W.W. Norton, 1991), 92. Here, the exact wording of the author is used but is now quoted and cited properly. Remember just putting it in quotes is not enough, you must ALSO include the citation. MLA: In his book, Nature’s Metropolis, William Cronon argues that Chicago’s importance as a meeting place was solidified by the
