Plagiarism
What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is stealing someone else’s work (be it words, image , or product) and claiming it as your own original work. If you copy and paste from the internet without giving credit, that is plagiarism. Many artists have copyrights on their work and to steal it is an act of theft or fraud. Plagiarism is wrong and will not be tolerated in my classroom. Intentional plagiarism will result in a automatic zero on the assignment and a trip to the principal's office.
