Glossary Support for ELA.3.13.F
A key part of the research process is integrating information obtained from research material into one’s own writing. The ethical use of information requires that students identify the difference between plagiarism (presenting another author’s words or ideas as one’s own without credit) and paraphrasing (putting information from the source in one’s own words). Paraphrasing from a text restates the key information in a different way and changes the vocabulary, structure, and sometimes voice of the original.
