1 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

2 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.

3 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?

4 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)

5 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) For more Info: http://www2.fiu.edu/~oabp/misconductweb/1acmisconductproc.htm

6 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

7 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

8 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.

9 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

10 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

11 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

12 WORKS CITED PAGE Books: Author Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. Edition of book. Editors. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication. Ex: Whittaker, James. Blogs: The New Journals. 2 nd ed. Ed. Colleen O’Malley. New York: Penguin, 1987. Print. Edition and editors are only used if necessary If two or three authors are used, list all of them. However, if three or more authors are used, you list the first followed by “et al.” Ex: Whittaker, James, and Marie Munroe. Ex: Whittaker, James, et al.

13 WORKS CITED PAGE Newspapers: Author Lastname, Firstname. "Title of Article." Title of Periodical Day Month Year: pages. Medium of publication. Ex: Poniewozik, James. "TV Makes a Too-Close Call." Time 20 Nov. 2000: 70-71. Print. Periodicals Author Lastname, Firstname. "Title of Article." Title of Periodical Volume.Issue (Year):pages. Database (if applicable). Medium of publication. Date of access (if accessed online) Ex: Duvall, John N. "The (Super)Marketplace of Images: Television as Unmediated Mediation in DeLillo's White Noise." Arizona Quarterly 50.3 (1994): 127-53. JSTOR. Web. 5 Apr. 2013. Most of the peer reviewed articles from the library databases will fall into this format

14 WORKS CITED PAGE Electronic Sources Author Lastname, Firstname. “Title of Article” (if applicable). Title of Website. Version numbers or revisions. Publisher or Company, Date of Publication. Web. Date of access. Ex: Bernstein, Mark. "10 Tips on Writing the Living Web." A List Apart: For People Who Make Websites. A List Apart Mag., 16 Aug. 2002. Web. 4 May 2009. Remember to use n.p. if no publisher name is available and n.d. if no publishing date is given. URLs are no longer required Websites can be some of the most difficult to cite due to formatting concerns and lack of relevant information No more than 1 website!

15 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

16 GROUP ACTIVITY- CITATION PRACTICE In your unit 2 groups 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

17 HOMEWORK Read I&A 43-52 Sign up for conference 3 Sign up available Friday at 5 pm Registration closes Tuesday at 9:30 am WTI- Draft 1 250+ words Printed and brought to class by Monday Should include location of the marker as well as the text Make sure to add a Works Cited page
