  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!)
Explain to them that plagirism is not acceptable and you could be failed because of it. I would provide mini lessons on how to used the internet appropriately and make visits to the library on how to properly search for a book. I want to give them options on how to gather information and use other resources besides the internet. I do know that there are plagirism programs where the students submit their papers to this program and it then checks for plagirism. If need be, you can always use a program like this to double check that your students are not plagirising.
