www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/mla.html#film 1. Cite your sources when you: Use or refer to another's words or ideas from a magazine, book, newspaper, song, TV program, movie, Web page, computer program, letter, advertisement, or any other medium;Use information gained through interviewing another person;Copy the exact words or a "unique phrase" from somewhere;Use statistics; Reprint any diagrams, illustrations, charts, or pictures; Use ideas that others have given you in conversations or over email 2. No need to cite your sources when you: Write about your own experiences, your own observations, your own insights, your own thoughts, your own conclusions about a subject or when you are recording your own experimental results. Use "common knowledge" — folklore, common sense observations, shared information within your field of study or cultural group. Compile generally accepted facts.

The mission and vision of our school dictates our hope and expectation that each student will develop and act with integrity to create work that originates solely from that student or that is properly cited as the work of another. In our academic climate based on the principle of Torah lishma (respect and love of learning), JCHS will not accept academic dishonesty. Cheating on academic work and plagiarizing the ideas and writing of others is a serious offense to our code of conduct. The following are examples of cheating or plagiarism: Copying another student's homework and sharing one's homework with a classmate without teacher direction or permission;Passing information to another student or receiving information from another student. During the course of an exam;Possessing and/or using notes during an exam or quiz, talking during an exam or quiz, reading another paper during an exam or quiz or reading a copy of an exam or quiz beforehand;Borrowing entire ideas without crediting the author. Copying or downloading information without citation.From: JCHS Student/Parent Handbook. Plagiarism is “the use, without giving reasonable and appropriate credit to or acknowledging the author or source, of another person's original work, whether such work is made up of code, formulas, ideas, language, research, strategies, writing or other form(s).”From: Stanford University Office of Judicial Affairs, Office of the Dean of Students, 2004.
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/vpsa/judicialaffairs/students/plagiarism.htm 1. Topic Selection Choose your topic.Make a statement or claim about your topic (thesis). (Do a preliminary outline.) Write questions about your topic and identify the key words in your topic. 2. Search Strategy Define your task by forming search questions.
What do I need to know? What do I already know? Plan and propose your research project.Identify basic resources. Where can I find the information? (Search for sources in this sequential order: general book, specific book, subscription databases, world-wide web.)Locate and evaluate your sources using key words. Skim and scan to identify relevant information. Identify primary and secondary sources, fact and opinion, points of view, timeliness, authority, omissions, errors in logic. Do sources have peer reviews?Choose your final sources, and make careful citations for your bibliography.Gather your information. Take notes from your sources, including on-line ones.Interpret and present information (report/project.) Summarize, paraphrase, quote, synthesize, organize and analyze the information. Draw conclusions. Provide appropriate documentation. (See the why, how, when of "Citing Sources" above.) What audience are you trying to reach? Write your drafts. Include a bibliography and footnotes or endnotes if your teacher requests them. For a full description of footnotes and endnotes, see "A Research Guide for Students" by I.Lee.
