Mini-Lesson on Referencing

Reflection:
By the end of Kindergarten, most students can correctly define the term "cheating."  Using information from the internet without citing it is simply another form of cheating, and students will easily understand that.  It is important for teachers to teach children why we consider this so, and also to teach children how to correctly reference all bodies of information used.  We cannot hold children accountable for plagiarizing unless we define what it is and share ways to avoid it.  Even the youngest students should learn to cite their sources.
