What do you think about plagiarism?
By Carly L.
Webster's dictionary defines "plagiarize" as the act of taking someone else's ideas, writing, etc. and passing it off as one's own.
I asked several seventh graders and a teacher their feelings about plagiarism and what they thought should happen to students if they were caught plagiarizing or handing in a plagiarized paper.
 |
Plagiarism is not right. If kids get caught, they should at least have to do community service because they are not allowed to go to jail. - Kevin H. |
 |
Plagiarism is wrong because people work so hard to make their writings, and students shouldn't copy them. They should probably get a half hour detention. - Kristen S. |
 |
I think plagiarism is horrible. People who plagiarize should be given a detention or something like that. - Caitlyn C. |
 |
I believe plagiarism is one unbelievable thing to do. Why would anybody want to copy something else when they can do better? Who ever does this selfish act should be given an hour detention. - Daniel K. |
 |
Plagiarism is bad. Kids should get a one-hour detention for plagiarizing. - Lauren S. |
 |
Plagiarism is cheating and it shows a real lack of character. I think a student who plagiaries should get a zero with no opportunity to make it up and it should be treated as cheating on a test. - Mr. Cousineau |

Mageknights are "in"
By John G.
 |
|
| These are minature pieces for the fantasy war game, Mageknight. | |
Several factions of warriors (Necropolis Sect, Atlantis Guild, Knights Immortal, and Draconums to name a few) are used to expand armies and annihilate enemies.
Warriors come in ranks of weak, standard, and tough. Some are unique and only one can be used in an army.
Big pieces like dragons, tanks, and chariots are bought separately. Chariots are used to transport warriors across the battlefield. Dragons and tanks are powerful pieces to use in armies.
Warriors have unique special abilities used to help them destroy enemies or survive longer.
Lancers (double based figures) are warriors mounted on animals. Lancers may not ride on chariots.
Each warrior has a point value and you add up every warriors point value to a number like 500 and you have a 500-point army.
