A scenario
Meet Azmina
(This isn't actually Azmina, it's an example)
Azmina wants to use some images for her animal website.
So she went on google and searched ‘horses’ on the search bar
When she pressed the search button and clicked on images, she picked one of the images at the middle top.
She knows who owns the photograph of the horse and knows the image may be the subject of copyright.
She clicked the right bottom on the mouse and clicked on saved as
Note: Remember, Azmina knows the photograph is owned by someone else.
6.She used a photo of a horse without giving the owner any credit on her blog post.

Plagiarism
What is plagiarism?
According to Google, plagiarism is the practice of taking someone’s work or ideas and passing it off as your own.
A scenario
Meet Jasmine
(This isn't actually Jasmine, it's an example)
Jasmine had to write an essay for her sociology class
She didn’t know how to start an essay and called one of her friends
Her friend advised her to copy and paste word for word from a sociology website.
Jasmine thought it was a good idea to copy someone’s work
She copied and pasted everything from the sociology website and claimed it as her own work
On Monday, she gave her sociology teacher her essay.
Question: What will happen to Jasmine if she continues to plagiarise someone’s work for her future essays?
