My response on plaigarism

*What did the student do wrong?What could he/she have done to include the source correctly?
 
What the student did was that they included the text from the article without paraphrasing or using quotations. The student could have avoided this by putting in quotations. You can't put too many quotations in though, they should have mainly done their own story and paraphrased it besides copying and pasting it.

*Write a sentence using the original source correctly; use a quotation or paraphrase. Also, make sure to cite correctly. Consult my post on citing sources.
 
The author of "A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings" , states,"Below the rolling hills of the horizon lies a small town. There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures."
 
* What are at least 3 ways to avoid plagiarizing? 
 
One way to avoid plagiarizing is to read through the whole text carefully, you could find your own way to word it. Another way to avoid plagiarizing is to include quotations, and you could use the thing the author said in the text. One more way to avoid plagiarizing is to paraphrase your sentences, and you can do that by just putting the text into different words than the original text.
