When you are doing a report on anything,
and you use information that someone else has found, or if you use
another person's words, you need to tell everyone else where that
information came from. Pretending that you came up with the
information yourself is against the law and is called plagiarism.
As you get older, you will learn very specific ways to cite information.
In fourth grade, I just need you to get in the habit of reporting your
sources. (A source is any person or place that gives you information.)
Here's how I want you to cite (tell me) your source:
