  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!)
Plagirism is something that my students will be faced with everyday. So I will be sure to have a mini lesson with handouts that shows examples of Plagirism, ways to cite their sources, and ways to paraphrase. This will also give me the opportunity to introduce technologies that allow students to upload their papers and it will be searched for Plagirism. This will give students a hands on experience of how Plagirism actually happens and how easy it is. But I will also go over the zero tolerance rule, the consequences and possible penalties in their schooling career.

Comments: I agree with this solution. I liked how you added a wat to teach students about plagiarism by showing them examples (of what not to do) and then how to cite work correctly. I also like how you mentioned the zero tolerance rule, since plagiarism is serious and there needs to be consequences for their actions.

Comments: I agree. I would use Turnitin.com as a submission method so students can see their papers in relation to others. This could help discourage plagiarism and show students methods of tracking such.
