From Mrs. Appleby:

You do not need to cite common knowledge. For example, everyone knows George Washington was the first president. You do not have to look up a source for that information.

It is plagiarism if...

• you only change a few words from the original

• use the same sentence structure

• use the same ideas as the author in the same order.

• You googled it and copied down the first thing that popped up. I have Google too; it's not hard for me to find what you copied from.
