Break homework

      The blogs I liked were Joyce's post and Ruby's post.
What I liked about Joyce's post was that she really thought about the two male characters Gale and Peeta. She considered all they have done, said and thought throughout all three books and put it into one paragraph. She wrote their good qualities as well as their bad qualities. Joyce also included her thoughts about each character. She gave her input on which she would prefer by saying she agreed with Katniss' choice in the end. What I liked about Ruby's post was that she really explained why she liked Much Ado About Nothing. She went into details about the setting of the play, how they went from every angle of the room. What I also liked is that she used her knowledge of the play already and compared it to what she saw, she noticed that the time the play was set in was different from the time the play was originally set in.
     A way I can improve my blogs to make them as well as the others, is to go into detail more. I often keep things simple and vague. I don't really go deeper into what i say and I think i have to fix that. I should elaborate more on what my opinion is and also some of the events that happen in my responses.

      The student messed up when they copied what the website said completely. They took it word for word and didn't cite it. She plagiarised to a tee and didn't mention where she got that information from. 

        Three ways to avoid plagiarising is to re- read the article or story once or twice and then put it away and write from what you remember reading. You wont know things word for word and will only remember the important things. Another way to avoid plagiarising is to quote the piece you read. The last way to avoid plagiarising is to take quick notes while reading and then refer to them when writing.
