About Plagiarism (copying someone else’s work)

- Websites and books are for you to read and enjoy, not to copy!
- It is illegal to copy someone else’s words and say it is your own work. It is basically cheating.
- Do NOT copy and paste from any website or book. Your teacher will always know if you copy!
- If you are caught copying other’s work, you will get a ‘ZERO’ mark in your assignment.
