    1. The student should not have plagiarized in the first place. They should have cited and quoted the plagiarized material and elaborated on it. They also could have put it their own words or summarized it.

   2."There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion.To the left of the painting there is a massive dark structure that develops an even greater sense of size and isolation." (vangoughgallery.com) I found this and thought it was the perfect way of describing the painting. 

     That would have been a better way to incorporate it into the response. 

3.   #1: Cite your source. 

      #2: Put it into your own words. 

      #3: Summarize.

     I really loved Alli's post on Much Ado About Nothing. I really liked how serious, sophisticated and mature it was. It was clear and concise but very detailed and elaborate. She really seemed to know what she was talking about. It also seemed very planned and thought out. Like i said her attention to detail was amazing. She payed a lot of attention to the little things like the shadows, music and lightening.

     I also really liked Gabby's post on Glass. It was incredibly organized and planned out. Every paragraph had a topic that she stayed with and supported. Also, each paragraph led into the next idea and it kept evolving into new ideas.  Her intro and conclusion were also very good.

    I could work on both these things. I need to be short and to the point instead of rambling on and on about things and getting off topic. I also need to plan out my responses before writing them I usually just write them as I go and sometimes they are confusing. Also I need to have more focused and structured responses. I think all of these could happen if I planned out my responses more.
