  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!)
If the class had a point system I would have the students pay a fine in points if they get caught plagiarizing just like in the real world when adults have to pay for plagiarism. I would also give the student a zero. The zero would already be expected because a school rule is no plagiarism.

Comments: I do not like the point system.. Can other students see it and be aware of the students who had plagiarized. I think it would be best to first teach a lesson on plagiarisms and how to correctly cite work.
