  Case: Plagirism
With information so easily available on the Internet, how do I discourage and prevent plagiarism by my 6th graders
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I recommend that you make sure students are aware of this policy, outlined in the instructions, when you hand them the assignment.

Depending on the grade, I recommend that you speak with the student individually, remind them of their behavior, and offer them another opportunity to express what they know, without plagiarizing.

If the problem persist, I recommend you contact the parents so they are aware of why their student earned a Zero on the assignment.

Comments: I agree with this. Privately reminding the student of the policies will help. Reminding them of the consequences and enforcing them if needed will help more extreme cases.

Comments: I agree, all students need to be aware of the policy and if there are certain students having this issue speaking to them/ their parents would be the best solution.
