Imagine this exact situation took place at TCA...

How would you respond if you were convicted of plagiarism?

How would your parents respond?

Do you feel as if you deserve a passing grade because you parents pay tuition?

Does this story affect your view of plagiarism?

What do you take away from this narrative?


Plagiarism plays a big part in schools today.  Just like Piper High. Students were copying down information on their work and turning it in to the teacher. The teacher was really skeptical about it and thought it was weird that these students had such big words that they've never used before during their presentations. The teacher looked at the the student's works and realized it was on this website. They had plagiarized on that website and put in on their work. It is never right to plagiarize, even if you don't think it's a big deal. Some colleges will kick you out of their class if you get caught plagiarizing. You should always use your own work and never someone else's. If I was convicted of plagiarizing, I probably wouldn't know what to do, because I would know it was wrong of me to do it anyway. My parents wouldn't like the idea that I did it either. I wouldn't feel as though I needed a passing grade, because it wouldn't be my work to begin with. This story helped me realize how big plagiarizing is and to never do it. I wouldn't take anything away from this narrative, because it helps you realize to never plagiarize on any of your work.
