TODAY’S GOALS

• Finish creating a sample historical marker as a class for the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables

• Discuss definitions and consequences of plagiarism

• Introduce MLA citation formats

GROUP ACTIVITY-VENETIAN POOL HISTORICAL MARKER

• In your unit 2 groups

• Review “Collin’s Historical Marker” on pg. 229

• Begin to construct a historical marker for Venetian Pool based off of our last two readings and following the historical marker format of “Collin’s Historical Marker”

1. Where should this marker be located? Be specific. Venetian Pool has a main building with gift shop and refreshments, a fence separating it from the street, an ornate main entrance, a pavilion for seating, the pool itself, a waterfall, caves, and a bridge. What would be the best place for the marker?

2. What will the historical marker itself read? Make sure to include a thesis and the most important information based off of our two previous readings.

CLASS DISCUSSION-PLAGIARISM

• What is plagiarism?

• How has the internet changed plagiarism and its prevention?

• What are the consequences of plagiarism?

• How do we distinguish between plagiarism and the responsible use of sources?

PLAGIARISM

• to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own

• to use another production without crediting the source

• to commit literary theft

• to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source (even one that you created)

FIU PLAGIARISM CONSEQUENCES

• 1.02 Plagiarism: The deliberate use and appropriation of another's work without any indication of the source and the representation of such work as the student's own. Any student who fails to give credit for ideas, expressions or materials taken from another source, including internet sources, is guilty of plagiarism. Any student helping another to plagiarize may be found guilty of academic misconduct.3.0- Most Common Disciplinary Sanctions: Expulsion, Disciplinary Probation, Suspension, Failing (Of the class you plagiarized in), Restitution (Your student loans may become immediately due)

USING SOURCES

• Use quotations marks whenever taking words directly from a source

• You may also paraphrase or summarize a passage from a source, stating part of the information in your own words

• Whether you are quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing, you must always make sure to include a citation or attributive tag to credit the original author

USING SOURCES(CONTINUED)

• Quote: when using two or more words directly from a text

• Paraphrase: when you state an idea or piece of data from a source in your own words

• Summary: when you state the main idea from a source in your own words

WHEN TO CITE:

• Whenever three or more words are used in sequence from a source (Any time you quote!)

• Whenever a number, figure, statistic, or piece of data is used from a source

• Whenever you use, even indirectly, the thesis or main point of a source

• Golden Rule: If you are ever not sure when to cite a source, CITE IT! The repercussions for citing unnecessarily will always be less than the repercussions for not citing and thus plagiarizing the source.

MLA CITATIONS

Two possible forms: • In-text citations: Used whenever you make a reference to a piece of

information from a source, including quotes, paraphrase, and summary. Only gives just enough information to find the source on the Works Cited page.

• Works Cited page: lists ALL sources that you reference in your essay. All information recording in the Working Bibliography is used here. Information is given in a highly structured manner and is detailed enough that a reader could find the source on their own

IN-TEXT CITATIONS BASICS

• This is the only type we will use for the Strong Response essay

• Normal form: • (Author’s last name Page #)• Ex: (Smith 47)

• In-text citations are given at the end of the sentence in which they are used, after quotation marks (if present) but before final punctuation of the sentence. • Ex: “This meatloaf is shallow and pedantic” (Griffin 24).

• If no author is given for the source, you may use the first word of the title instead. If this title is in italics or quotation marks, you must use those also• Ex: (Huckleberry 92)

• For many electronic sources, page numbers will not be given and should be omitted

ATTRIBUTIVE TAG

• Attributive Tag: An introductory remark that tells you part (or all) of the in-text citation information the sentence

• Will usually introduce the author’s last name (varies by format however)

• Page number must still be given in parenthesis at the end of the sentence

• Attributive tag Ex: According to Peter, the “meatloaf is shallow and pedantic (7)

-vs-

• In-text citation Ex: “This meatloaf is shallow and pedantic” (Peter 7)

• For the sources used in your Strong Response essay, page number will not be used because they are web sources and these are not applicable

• No more than 1 website!

MLA CITATIONS: FINAL WORD

• If you are ever using source information and are unsure whether to use an in-text citation, use the in-text citation! It is always better to include more citations than necessary than less citations than necessary.

• Not all data will be available for all sources. Make sure key information is there and that the Works Cited information is sufficient for a reader to find that source on their own.

• If you are unsure about if or when to use citations, always speak with me or another professor before turning in a work that may accidentally plagiarize

• Review the sources you used for your Minor Essay 3

• For each students’ sources, create an in-text citation and a works cited page citation
