AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
C) CITATIONS You must know what style the teacher
wants you to use! ASK which style. Check out the
PW website for more information on styles.
30
There is nothing that cannot be cited. This
includes personal conversations, recordings, CD
Roms, telephone interviews or even emails.
31
Citations provide a check to where you found your
information and allow you to get more information
from your sources if you want to!
32
Always create a system to your note taking and
quotes. Some ideas are
Put quotes on index cards Highlight with a
highlighter Grouping direct quotes ideas
together In your notes, quotes should have refs
and page numbers
33
REMEMBER that the internet is only a tool.
You should never rely on it entirely to do your
research. For accurate information on the
internet look at the source!

EXAMPLES of PLAGIARISM OR NOT ???
35
George Brown, leader of the Clear Grits, was
known as a hot-tempered giant of a Scotsman. His
violent outbursts against Canadiens, Catholics
and Conservatives had deeply divided colonial
politics during the 1850s and early 1860s. He
seemed an unlikely leader to offer a solution to
the political deadlock in Canada. Yet that is
exactly what George Brown did (Bowers and Garrod,
1987, 83).
36
1) George Brown, was leader of the Clear Grits.
He was a large, Scottish man that had a bad
temper. His furious verbal explosions against
Canadiens, Catholics and Conservatives had
seriously divided colonial politics during the
1850s and early 1860s. He appeared a surprising
leader to present a solution to the political
deadlock in Canada. But that is precisely what he
did.
(Words changed on using a thesaurus and a few
words changed)

2) George Brown was known as a hot-tempered
Scotsman. His violent outbursts against
Canadiens, Catholics and Conservatives had deeply
divided colonial politics during the 1850s and
early 1860s. He seemed an unlikely leader to
offer a solution to the political deadlock in
Canada. Yet that is exactly what George Brown as
leader of the Clear Grits.
(Changing sentences order)

3) George Brown, leader of the Clear Grits,
offered a solution to the political deadlock in
Canada. Though he seemed an unlikely leader do to
his because of his violent outbursts against
Canadiens, Catholics and Conservatives. His had
deeply divided colonial politics during the 1850s
and early 1860s.

4) In the mid-nineteenth century British North
America was in a difficult period of time. Each
government continued to collapse because there
was no government with a majority. Then George
Brown, the hot-tempered giant of a Scotsman,
who was leader of the Clear Grits suggested a
solution. He would join with the Conservatives
(his hated enemy). This was a surprise because
it was well known that he had a great dislike of
the Canadiens, Catholics and the Conservatives.
(Needs to be cited)

5) In the mid-nineteenth century British North
America was at an impasse. Coalition governments
had yet to be successful for any period of time.
It was not until George Brown the Scottish leader
of the Clear Grits volunteered to settle the
deadlock by setting aside past conflicts with
other parties. This led to the Great Coalition
and the Confederation of Canada.
(Acceptable)
