11. 3 Steps to Avoid
Plagiarism:
0 Step 1 - Take good bulleted notes in your own
words; no complete sentences
0 Step 2 – Paraphrase your notes. Since your notes
are in your own words, you are putting your notes
back into complete sentences. This step is easy
once you have notes in your own words.
0 Step 3 – Citing your sources

the paragraph number.
It will look like this:

29. A Christmas Essay (of sorts)
All was quiet in the house on Christmas Eve; even the mice were still in their nests. Everyone
had made the house ready for the arrival of St. Nicholas and “the stockings were hung by the
chimney with care” (Moore par. 1). The children were fast asleep, dreaming of candy, while
the parents were asleep also. All of a sudden, something made a loud noise on the roof and the
father jumped out of bed to look out the window for the cause of such a racket. To his
amazement, he saw a small sleigh being pulled by 8 reindeer (Moore).
One very cold and snowy day, all the children in the neighborhood made a snowman that they
named Frosty. They gave him a button for a nose, coal for his eyes, a pipe made from a
corncob, and an old silk hat. That must have been very special hat because, as one observer
noted “there must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found for when they placed it
on his head he began to dance around” (Frosty par. 3).
Soon, all the children were following him through the streets of town stopping only when the
local policeman asked them to (Frosty).
"The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! / Now, please don't ask why. No
one quite knows the reason" (Seuss, How 3). Dr. Seuss's small-hearted Grinch ranks right up
there with Scrooge when it comes to the crankiest, scowling holiday grumps of all time.
Compare the Grinch to another Dr. Seuss character, the much-loved Horton of Horton Hears a
Who! Horton is minding his own business when he hears a tiny cry for help. Although Horton
has no proof that the person asking for help is real, he vows to do what he can to save this
unknown creature because “a person’s a person, no matter how small” (Seuss, Seuss 6).
