Plagiarism
Knowingly presenting the work of others as your own is plagarism. This includes just changing one or two words per sentence. Plagiarism will get you a NOT ACHIEVED mark, so you will need to avoid it by putting the work into your own words.

What is APA referencing?
Give credit where credit is due; cite your sources. It is a BIG THANK YOU to the person who took the time to write the information you have used. APA is the style that most school and all major universities in New Zealand use.
Citing or documenting the sources used in your research serves two purposes, it gives proper credit to the authors of the materials used, and it allows those who are reading your work to see what sources you have used, particularly if you have used some really good ones!
There are two ways to do this. At Year 9, we only require ONE way (bibliography) but if you would like to start practicing both ways, it's a good time to start now.
Bibliography
Bibliography
A bibliography is a list of books and sites you have used in your research. This list is usually on the last page of your project. It is NOT a list of URLs - it needs to be formatted. At CHS we use CiteThisForMe. Here is a YouTube video to show you how.

This is a 'nice-to-have' at Y9. so go for it if you are keen. :) You will get more practice in Y10 so you can use it fully for NCEA.
It is a way of showing what sources you have used in your research without making the reader look at footnotes or your bibliography. Using it helps the teacher see what evidence you have used to support your argument.

In Japan, scientists have now come up with what they call “the ultimate solution” which is “a dream fulfilling face that satisfies today’s beauty standards, an all-in-one product for a lifetime worth of confidence” (Angel, 2014). They are talking about the Uniface Mask, which is a bionic face mask with a flawless complexion that allows the user to talk, sleep and make basic facial expressions. It has to be glued onto the face using cell-binding glue and can only be de-activated by the scientific team at the clinic (Angel, 2014).
