2 Plagiarism: What is it? Simply put, plagiarism is stealing written work from another writer. It is not copying or borrowing. It is theft and it could even be considered to be fraud, which is a crime! No matter what your excuse for turning in someone else s work as your own, it is still cheating and very unethical behavior. It can happen at all levels of society and the definition doesn t change whether at the high school level or professional. To prevent turning in a plagiarized paper, a writer must cite the work if there is anything that is not original thought added to the written work. Your teacher will give you guidelines for the proper method(s) of citing your research paper or any other writing assignment you may have to complete. Some examples of plagiarism are: 1) turning in someone else s work as your own 2) copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit 3) failing to put a quotation in quotation marks 4) giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation 5) changing words by copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit 6) copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not. [ Don t forget: citing your sources and giving credit for material you want to use makes your written work ethical and trustworthy, and a reflection of who you are as a person. Citing allows you to write papers that other people will want to read and perhaps be encouraged to continue to do further research on their own. Be a leader, not a follower. Write your own thoughts and ideas. If you want to support your ideas with those of others, remember to cite the material properly. It is very easy to cheat and plagiarize. It is, as well, very easy for your teacher to check to see if your paper has been plagiarized. Penalties can be severe, so do it right...it is worth it! / cp VPL English 11A
3 Name English 11A Unit 2: Book Review Assignment 75 Points Introduction Have you grumbled about book reports in the past? This is your chance to complete a book review project as an alternative to a book report. You can show your creativity and talents by completing an original project to summarize your book. Be creative and have fun! Step 1: Choice: Visit with your instructor about a book to read and review for your English class. Your teacher has been provided with a list of books that match the themes of your English class. You may choose from that list or you may choose a book with a different theme but be sure your book choice has been approved by the teacher. The school library or the public library in your community will have other books that revolve around the same themes as your English class. Instructor approval: Step 2: Format: Next, choose the book review presentation you want to use from the following list. You must select a different project than used in English 10B. Your book review project must be presented to your class and/or teacher. If your book project will take special materials to complete, you are responsible for finding those materials. Your book review project must also be approved by your instructor. Follow all requirements carefully! Instructor approval:
4 Name English 11A Book Review Project List 1. Create a mini scrapbook of the story that includes at least 12 pages. Each page must include a written caption, as well as an introduction, characters, setting, plot, at least 5 story events, major problem solved, and a closing. Use a variety of recycled materials in constructing the scrapbook such as yarn, buttons, rocks, twigs, leaves, bottle caps, cloth scraps, crayons, paints, markers, wire, etc. Get feedback from at least two other people on how to improve the scrapbook as you construct the pages. Present the scrapbook to your class or teacher. 2. Create a new card game that summarizes the story. Use card stock or other heavy paper to create cards that are similar to playing cards. Cards must include characters, setting, plot, events, problems, problem resolution, and the ending of the story. Include a written set of directions for playing the card game. You can use the computer to create the cards and then cut them out, or, create the cards freehand. Play the game with a classmate or the teacher in order to present the project. 3. Using software, create a graphic presentation that summarizes the details of each character in the story AND how each character changes throughout the story. This book review project requires that you use a book that has not been made into a movie. Get instructor approval of the software that you will be using to create your character transformation project. Be creative and give enough details to thoroughly explain how the character changes. For this project, the book must have at least 5 characters; if not, choose a different project. To present the project, prepare a written script that details the process you went through to create the presentation, and explaining what the graphics intend to portray. Practice your presentation before the final viewing in front of your class or teacher. 4. Create a new book jacket for the book. Review other book jackets to gather ideas. Be creative. The book jacket must include original thoughts and artwork. Basically, you are providing a whole new perspective to future buyers of the book. The book jacket must include a new synopsis for the inside front cover and advertising on the back of the book jacket. The synopsis must be typed without any errors. The book jacket design can be created on the computer or by free hand. Before you reveal the new book jacket to your audience, hand out a blank note card to each member of the audience so that they can give you ideas and suggestions of what they liked and what they didn t like. All critique cards must be turned in to the instructor along with the new book jacket. 5. Create a book talk to present the book to an audience. A book talk includes an introduction with details about the author and publisher, important details about why the book was written, and the reading of at least two passages from the book before the problem resolution of the book. A book talk is intended to hook the audience and convince others to read the book, without giving away the ending or resolution. Prepare a script of what you will say. Practice reading your script and the reading passages from the book in front of a mirror. When you feel you are ready, present your book talk to your instructor or classmates. (Passages read should be at least two minutes in length or longer.) 6. Write your own original book review format here: This list was selected from More Ideas Than You ll Ever Use for Book Reports.

10 Name English 11A Unit 3: Restaurant Review Persuasive Essay 25 Points Introduction: Do you have a favorite restaurant? Is there a restaurant where you refuse to eat? Is there a new restaurant opening in your local area? Business owners opening a restaurant want those who read restaurant reviews to be persuaded to visit their restaurant. Readers of the review do want the facts but also desire your opinion before taking the time and effort to travel there. Your assignment is to visit a new or existing restaurant and then prepare a persuasive essay to convince readers either to patronize the restaurant or stay away and satisfy their palate elsewhere. [Persons entering this field fall under the category of Business, Marketing, and Management on the Kansas Career Fields and Clusters Model.] Tip: If you are unable to visit the restaurant but have eaten there in the past and the restaurant has a website, go to the restaurant s website for information. If you use web site information, site your references in a Works Cited page, using proper MLA format. Note: Be sure to get your instructor s approval of the restaurant to be reviewed before completing this assignment! Instructor s Approval: STEP 1: Complete the fact and opinion chart provided after your restaurant visit. Add your own categories to the chart as needed. Restaurant Name Date of Review Type of restaurant 10 Pts. 1. Atmosphere/Ambiance Includes the lighting, wall colors, background music, decorations, and style. Consider smoking and nonsmoking issues. Facts Opinions /cp VPL English 11A
11 Name 2. Professionalism of staff. Includes the greeting, friendliness of staff. Did staff make you feel comfortable? Facts Opinions 3. Location Easy to find, abundance of parking; handicapped parking. To go parking or drive through available? 4. Menu Specials, appetizers, low-fat choices, vegetarian choices, calorie counts, neatness of menu, easy to understand, prices available. 5. Price Low, medium, and high $ choices.

Dress code Posted, followed, enforced. Staff dresses appropriately. 8. The food! Attractively presented, taste, size of portions, special seasonings, originality, freshness, variety. 9. Visual details Sounds, smells, tastes, touch, textures. 10. Would you return? 11. Your own category /cp VPL English 11A
12 Name STEP 2: First Draft Persuasive Essay, 9 paragraphs minimum Now that you have completed your fact/opinion chart you are ready to persuade the readers to attend or avoid the restaurant in your first draft. Consider using common persuasive techniques that persuasive writers often use such as bandwagon appeal which encourages the reader to support your opinion because everyone else is, providing testimonials from famous people that asks the reader to accept a product because it is endorsed by someone famous or respected, or bias, which is the use of emotional words to slant the reader in a certain direction. As you construct your first draft, remember to include an engaging introduction that states your position about the restaurant. The body paragraphs of your paper should include reasons, details, opinions, and facts that support your main argument. The closing should restate your position. Consult a thesaurus for ideas on strong descriptive adjectives, concrete nouns, and action verbs to evoke imagery. Sensory details in your essay will be important so that the readers of the restaurant review can picture the restaurant in their mind, visualize the plate of food, taste the entrée you are describing on their tongue, and agree with your opinion of whether to spend money there! After your first draft is complete, turn it in to your instructor for ideas on strengthening your essay. STEP 3: Now that your instructor has provided some improvement comments, edit your first draft for smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs. Your sentences should be of different lengths and sentence fragments should be used sparingly. Check your paper for style, accuracy, smoothness, precise words, colorful modifiers, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Prepare a final copy to turn in to your teacher for grading /cp VPL English 11A

14 Name English 11A Unit 3: Autobiographical Poem Music is an important part of our lives. What type of music do you like? Who is your favorite artist? Before a musician can sing, they have to have a song to sing, and someone has to write the words or lyrics to that song. Some musicians write their own songs, but many hire song writers to do it for them. Songs are actually poetry that has been put to music. For this assignment, imagine that you have been hired as a song writer to write a ballad. To personalize the verse it must have something to do with your life.
