Plagiarism Video Script
OPENING- (SHARED TELECOM AND "VOLPE SHOTS" from RESEARCH NOTES section)
This is a story about conducting yourself with academic integrity. You may be asking yourself: “What IS academic integrity?” Well, it’s when students act honestly and responsibly, showing a respect for others and their work.
I’ll tell what’s not a part of academic integrity: plagiarism. That’s academic dishonesty in which a student takes someone else’s words or ideas and passes them off as their own.
But why do we plagiarize? Well, sometimes those tricky deadlines sneak up on us out of nowhere! Other times assignments just feel so gosh darn overwhelming. Sometimes we figure that other people say it better than we ever could, so why bother? And don’t we all feel that pressure to do a good job? There are also those of us who are just plain lazy, but often times we just don’t know that what we’re doing is wrong.
To help you understand, let’s look at some examples of plagiarism.
(Scene 1 COPY AND PASTING GONE WILD) Starts at 1:10
Our first example has to do with giving credit to your sources. Here we are with Teddy and Judy in the Senior Resource Center. Both are writing research papers on diseases for Science class. Here’s Teddy getting information about Maple Syrup Urine Disease. But wait - it looks like Teddy in a sticky situation himself: he’s copying words into his paper without quoting or citing them. Where are your quotes Teddy?! Where are your citations?! Those aren’t your words!!
Not so fast, Judy. Let’s see how you’re fairing with that paper on Dengue Fever. Atta girl, Judy. Way to quote and cite those passages! Hold on just one cotton-pickin’ minute, let’s take a closer look. How much of that paper is your own words? Just your name?! Oh, Judy. Unlike Teddy, you may have given the proper credit to your source, but that’s still considered plagiarism. There’s a lesson to be learned here, kids: even if you cite your sources, you need to include your own words and ideas for it to be considered an honest paper. Anyone can find information on the web. It’s what we do and how we interact with that information that matters.
(Scene 2- SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK FROM THE YEAR BEFORE) Starts at 2:45
Copying the work of another student and representing it as your own is another form of plagiarism, whether it’s a Math problem, a homework assignment, or a paper. Poor Billy here needs to write an analysis of Romeo and Juliet for English class. Now Billy, did you wait ‘til the last minute to write this paper? I thought so. Say, Frankie – didn’t you take that class last year? Uh oh, Frankie – don’t get any funny ideas… That’s not your flash drive you’re handing him is it? Oh Billy! Avert your eyes, children, as Billy prepares to replace Frankie’s name with his own. I wouldn’t celebrate, you two. Sorry to be such a square, but both of you are getting ready to commit plagiarism. No matter how good your intentions are, Billy needs to write his own paper.
(Scene 3 WIKIPEDIA AND RANDOM BOOK) Starts at 3:48
There are many temptations when researching to make shortcuts. These cool cats have been asked by their Social Studies teacher to use a book and a database, both reliable sources, for their paper on the Civil War. Timmy and Tommy are using databases. Way to go, boys! Golly gee willickers! What’s Joey doing over there? Wikipedia, huh? Now, Joey that’s a fine place to get a general understanding of your topic, but that’s not one of the required sources! And it’s not even reliable! Let’s find a book source first. Great choice, Joey. But hey, aren’t you going to read that book? Why, you’re just taking the information for your bibliography!! Your information didn’t come from that book – it came from Wikipedia! That’s plagiarism, Joey. Where do you think you’re going young man! There you are, and now I find you copying more sources you didn’t use. Show him how it’s done, Timmy. Righto, kiddo. You better be honest when citing your sources, because your teachers are smarter than you think and TurnItIn.com is on their side.
(Scene 4 MUSIC AND IMAGE COPYRIGHT) Starts at 5:18
Other people’s words aren’t the only things that need to be given credit. You also need to cite all those pesky little images you use for class projects and presentations. Johnny and Betty Sue are putting together a presentation for U.S. History class. Johnny is using Google Image to find the perfect photo for his presentation. That’s the ticket, Johnny – way to follow the url to the actual web site the image comes from! You’ll need that web site’s information when you do your bibliography. Let’s check in on Betty Sue to make sure she’s doing the same thing. Uh oh, Betty Sue is just copying the image straight from Google and throwing it into her presentation. Betty Sue, you need to give credit to where that image comes from! Johnny will show you how to get to the original source. Now you’re cookin’ – your teachers will be on Cloud 9 when they see those beautiful, unstolen images.
(Scene 5 RESEARCH NOTES)
This last example shows how easy it is to plagiarize without even knowing it. Here come Eddie and Bobby, ready and excited to start researching for an upcoming Social Studies paper. Their first plan of action is to grab some nice, heavy books. Now let’s sit down and take some notes. That a way! Done already, Eddie? Let’s see what you’ve got. Why, Eddie – how are you going to remember which sources all those notes came from? You didn’t write them down, nor did you put quotation marks around those word-for- word phrases! That could lead to plagiarism! Don’t sweat it, Bobby. You take your time and keep recording those sources and word-for-word phrases so that you know come writing time what information comes from what source AND whether it’s in your words or someone else’s.
(Ending MONTAGE OF PREVIOUS SHOTS AND TEACHER SHOTS FROM IMAGE COPYRIGHT)
Let’s take a look back at what we’ve learned today. We’ve learned that you can’t take people’s words and ideas without giving them credit. We’ve also learned that giving credit isn’t always enough; your research should support your own original ideas. In Billy and Frankie’s case, we learned that you can’t take a classmate’s work and represent it as your own. Joey taught us to always be honest about where our information really comes from. Images are not excluded in this, they are intellectual property as well. And lastly, we learned to be careful to keep track of our sources when taking notes: accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism.
Don’t despair, kids. We know plagiarizing can be tempting, but you’ll feel better about yourself knowing that your work has been written from your own, unique perspective. That’s what your teachers are really looking for. If you ever feel unsure about what you have written or the sources you have used, know that you have support here at school in the form of teachers, librarians, and our new friend, TurnItIn.com.
So that’s the word from the bird. Good-bye for now!
