What did the student do wrong? What could he/she have done to include the source correctly?
What the student did wrong was that he/she plagiarized. He/she took someone else's work and made it his/her own without giving the author any credit. What the student could have done, was cited the source which would be giving the author his/her much deserved credit, or paraphrasing it and then stating where he/she got his/her information.
What are at least 3 ways to avoid plagiarizing?
1. Paraphrase where you got your information so it shows you understand the context
2. Cite your source; give the author the credit they deserve
3. After reading the passage, based off of it try and form your own thoughts/opinions or even build off theirs.
