Activity 1

What is plagiarizing? Well, plagiarizing is when you take something off the internet, from a book, or anywhere you find information, and say it is your own. Plagiarizing is illegal. In college, if you are caught doing it, you can be thrown out. Plagiarizing isn’t just copying words, though. You can plagiarize images off a website, or videos, too. Always be careful when taking things off the internet. If you need a picture off the internet, though, there is still a way to do it. One is to use Compfight. Another is to cite your source. This sounds complicated, but it is actually really easy. After you put your picture on, at the bottom, copy and paste the website URL and say that this is where you got your source. Thanks for reading!

Activity 2

Knock, knock, hear my fist knocking on the cold, hard, black wood

waiting for the tall door to swing open,

a person in the door way,

with candy in their hand.

I wait, and wait and wait.

No answer. Instead, cold, dead, silence.

I look inside my empty candy bag,

And keep on walking.

For this week’s blogging challenge, we had to make a page on how to comment, comment on someone else’s blog, and then write about it. Here is what my comment looked like:

Hi Kyndal,
My name is Maya. I did the same post on my blog.I had some of your tips. I wanted to comment to you because I just wanted to tell you that I loved how you used big words, and it really makes you blog look professional. Please take time to look at my blog, http://www.mayangms24.edublogs.org

I chose to comment on Kyndal’s blog because like I said in my comment, it was really professional. We both had some of the same tips, and so we probably had the same ideas. I left the comment I left because I wanted to tell her that I liked how professional she was and that she was a good writer.

Welcome back to my blog! You may have noticed my avatar. I made it on Face Your Manga, which is a great site to make your avatar on. When I was making my avatar, I thought about a few things. I wanted it to look like me, but it obviously can’t look exactly like me. It took a couple of tries, but I finally customized it to where I liked it. Now, my avatar looks like me and I’m satisfied with it. Once again, thank you for reading my blog, and please take the time to look at my other classmates’ blogs.

Also, comment if you have any questions! See you next time!
