Today's announcements.
Writer's Notebook: Place this definition of plagiarism in your WN.
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means
* to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
* to use (another's production) without crediting the source
* to commit literary theft
* to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.
Now give your thoughts on why one might plagiarize? Now make the commitment to not plagiarize in this class!
Quiz! Remember tone is the author's attitude towards his/her subject. What is Ben Mikaelsen's attitude toward his subjects...including main character, culture, setting, conflict...other topics? Sorry...not an open-book quiz.
