Blog 2 Citing Sources

In this blog, we want you to watch a short video clip, summarize the video. What are the man and the woman talking about? What complaints does the boy have about academic writing and what reasons does the woman give him for the rules he needs to follow. Watch the video "Plagiarism? Are you Kidding?" http://plagiarismstories.tumblr.com (this link is also on the CARMEN content page - be sure to scroll all the way down to watch the one at the very bottom) Be sure to cite the video in your blog. In the second paragraph, say what you think about the content of this video. Do you share the opinions of the boy in this video? What have you learned in your past education about this topic? Give examples and be specific. What do you think is the most important reason to cite sources in your paper? Aim for at least 250-300 words. Try to use reporting verbs and a variety of sentence structures and vocabulary.
