7-26-11

So yesterday in class, we learned about how to cite different text. The point of citing text is so you don't get accused of plagiarism. Ms. Amezcua told us an interesting fact, that plagiarism is derived from a Latin word meaning "kidnap" or something.

I Googled "plagiarism," and found out that it is derived from the Latin word, plagiarius, which literally translates to "kidnapper."

    Ha ha that a funny picture, I did not know that until she told us. I wonder if anyone knew that all ready? Probably not.
