Plagiarism is a serious issue in schools today, especially with the widespread availability of information on the Internet. In this lesson, students will learn the importance of properly citing work and be able to recognize when a citation is incorrect. Students should complete this activity after viewing the EasyTech lesson "School Work."
Application Exercises give students an opportunity to apply concepts they have learned in previous instruction. Work completed by a student will be graded through a variety of scoring options including participation and teacher assessment via rubric to provide flexibility with the type of grade sent to the Learning Management System (LMS) gradebook. Student work may include open-ended questions, correct/incorrect responses, a final product and/or self-assessment.
