reading responce (2) spring break (Plagiarism)


This reading response is going to be about plagiarism. Plagiarism can be very bad because you are not writing in your own words; you are just copying what the author wrote.

          What I found was that the person how wrote this did not have the URL. Another way I found that this was plagiarism is that this person copied the information from the author. Another thing I found that the person did wrong was they did not put the name of the author.

          There are many ways you can avoid plagiarism. One of the ways to avoid plagiarism is to write in your own words. Another way to avoid plagiarism is to put the name of your source.

Reading Responce (1) spring break



The first reading response I enjoyed reading the one by Joyce “Gale VS. Petta. I love how she compared to characters in the hunger games. After reading this response I understood the two characters a little better than I did before. I definitely fell for Petta. The second reading response that I enjoyed was the one by Ruby Much Ado About Nothing. I loved how she described the play. I love how she used so much detail to describe the play. I love how she described the theater. I loved reading this response.

The reason why I liked these blogs are because they both have great detail. Both of these reading responses were fun to read. I like how these to blogs were written. By reading Joyce’s reading response I felt like I knew the two characters in the hunger games better than I did before.  By reading Ruby reading response I know that she really enjoyed the play because she described everything about the play. 

The things I would do to change my blog post is a more detail. I would organize my reading response and make it enjoyable to the reader. I would put more time into my blogs.
