Announcements and Reminders:                           Pull out your book!! Don't forget to complete any reading make-up work (homework) if you have been given a pink sheet in your folder. All late and revised work is due by October 19 -- next Wednesday.

Targets for Today: I can define plagiarism. I can differentiate between plagiarizing and synthesizing.

Today’s  Agenda: Silent reading time. Fill out your reading logs! Now check out a painting that Mrs. Mace did over the summer! Okay, so Mrs. Mace really didn't paint that. Isn't it confusing when we claim someone else's work? Let's go to the lab now and learn more about that! You'll do the activity, then open your school email and complete a short student survey. Let us know if you have questions! Bring your things with you just in case we don't have time to come back to class.

If You Were Absent: Pick up the Plagiarism worksheet and complete that during Cavetime, before or after school. Pick up a pink slip to make up your reading time. Find the Student Survey email in your school email address and fill out the survey.

Vocabulary: Plagiarism: Taking someone else's work (writing, art, design, etc.) and passing it off as your own original work.  See our Plagiarism Cartoons. Synthesis: A combination of things. In this case, the appropriate combination of your original work and correctly cited work from someone else.
