In fact, one year a kid plagiarized his final project by using the listening section of a Regents that had been given a few years earlier. Did he think I wouldn't remember it? Please. These kids don't know HOW to write. You've seen their sentence structure. Do not make the mistake of thinking they can do what you can do, or that what you do is easy for them because it's easy for you. You will need to spend a lot of time teaching them how not plagiarize, how to write for themselves. It's not easy at all. Good luck and don't be so self-righteous and solipsistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
