23. Teacher Feedback Feel free to send me electronic copies of your work for feedback (eharper@herronhighschool.org) Copies MUST be sent to me by noon, Saturday the 26 th of November to receive feedback.

24. Plagiarism & Online Translating Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty. Any student engaging in it will be asked to redo the project and meet with me and a member of the administration to discuss next steps.

25. Plagiarism & Online Translating Online Translators are useful tools but do not facilitate the language acquisition process for projects such as these. Use of online translators is easily identifiable in student work. Any student suspected of using it will be asked to replicate and explain at length the grammar, syntax, and structure of the phrase(s) in question. Failure to do so will result in a redo of the project a meeting with me and a member of the administration to discuss next steps.
