(Students answer may vary)

B. Development of the lesson

1. Motivation
 “Copy Cut”

Mechanics: The teacher will group the

class into two. There will be a picture
shown on the TV, in which the two
teams will try to copy the poses of the
people on the picture within 15
seconds. Whoever gets 2 points first
will be the winner.
Yes it is.
Is that clear?

(Students will copy the pictures)

Is it easy to copy those pictures? (Students answer may vary)

Learning Task: Build me up!

Now you are going to make an Eiffel

Tower using a spaghetti noodle and
clay.

Mechanics: The teacher will group the

class into three groups. You need to
build an Eiffel Tower within five
minutes.

The Criteria are:

30% Creativity
30% Cooperation
40% Presentation
 What is your observation from that (Students answer may vary)

From that activity what do you think is Copying ma’am.

our topic for today?

What do you call when you copy or Plagiarism ma’am.

steal someone’s work?

Yes very good! Our topic for today is

about Plagiarism.

3. Analysis/Discussion

Any idea what is Plagiarism? (Students answer may vary)

Very good!

Plagiarism is the act of stealing

someone else's work and attempting to
"pass it off" as your own. This can
apply to anything, from term papers to
photographs to songs, even ideas!

Do you think plagiarism is a bad thing? (Students answer may vary)

Why?

Yes it is a bad thing. Here are the

reasons why plagiarism is a bad thing.

1. Because it infringes academic

ethics and academic norms.
2. Because it is a form of theft and a
type of fraud.
3. Because plagiarists ultimately cheat
themselves.
4. Because plagiarists cheat their
fellow students.
5. Because plagiarism reflects
incompetence.

Now here are types of Plagiarism.

a. Copying - If you copy someone

else's work and put your name on it,
you have plagiarized.
 Example: "Children are totally
insensitive to their parents' shyness;
it is the rare child who labels a
parent shy [...] This is
understandable, since parents are in
positions of control and authority in
their homes and may not reveal
their shy side to their children.
Also, since shyness is viewed as
undesirable by many children, it
may be threatening to think of
parents in these terms. At this
young age, the parent is still
idealized as all-knowing and all-
powerful - - not dumb, ugly, or
weak."
Zimbardo, Philip G. (1977).
Shyness: What it is, what to do
about it. Cambridge, Mass.: Perseus
Books.

If a writer copies, word for word,

the text from Dr. Zimbardo's book
and does not acknowledge in any
way that it was Dr. Zimbardo's
work, the writer has committed
plagiarism.

b. Patchwork - This occurs when the

plagiarizer borrows the "phrases
and clauses from the original source
and weaves them into his own
writing" without putting the phrases
in quotation marks or citing the
author.
Example: With regard to children,
they are totally insensitive to their
parents' shyness. Rare is the child
who labels a parent shy. It is easy to
understand this, since the parents
are in positions of control and
authority in their own homes and
may not necessarily show their shy
side to their children. Moreover,
since shyness is viewed as
unfavorable by most children, it
may be threatening for them to
think of their parents in that light.
During the formative years, the
parent is idealized as all-knowing
and all-powerful -- not dumb, ugly,
or weak.

c. Paraphrasing - This occurs when

the plagiarizer paraphrases or
summarizes another's work without
citing the source.
Example: Children are completely
insensitive to their parents' shyness
and rarely label their parents as
shy. Because the parents are the
authority and controlling figures in
 the home, they may not feel shy and
therefore not show their shy side.
Moreover, during the formative
years, parents are seen as
omnipotent and omniscient and not
stupid, unattractive, or pathetic; it
may be frightening for children to
view their parents in terms of
shyness.

There are tricks to paraphrasing: the

four R’s

Reword - replace words and

phrases with synonyms whenever
you can.
Rearrange – rearrange words
within sentences to make new
sentences. You can even rearrange
the ideas presented within the
paragraph.
Realize that some words and
phrases cannot be changed – names,
dates, titles etc. cannot be replaced,
but you can present them
differently in your paraphrase.
Recheck – make sure that your
paraphrase conveys the same
meaning as the original text.

Another example of paraphrasing.

d. Unintentional - It occurs when the

writer incorrectly quotes and/or
incorrectly cites a source they are
using.

Now how to avoid plagiarism?

The best method for avoiding it is to
simply be honest; when you've used a
source in your paper, give credit where
it's due. Acknowledge the author of the
original work you've used.

Another way to it is to quote and/or cite

your sources properly.

Is it clear? Yes it is.

Values Integration:
When you are going to make a research
would you just copy what you see on
 the internet or paraphrase it and give a
citation? And why?

4. Abstraction
“Be Original and Don’t Plagiarize” Commented [JCA3]: Tweet or Consequence
Under your arm chair there is a bird
and the one who gets the marker will be
the participant.

Mechanics: Observe the cases if it is

plagiarism or not and explain. Just say
“TWEET” if it is plagiarism and
“TWUUT” if not. If your answer is
correct there will be a prize and if
wrong there is a consequence.

Is that clear? Yes it is.
