Avoiding Plagiarism by SUMMARIZING

1)  List as many steps to avoid plagiarism by summarizing as you can remember. 2)  Summarize the following paragraph: I n the movies, quicksand looks pretty scary, but in real-life it is rarely more than a few feet deep.  If you are ever caught in a pool of quicksand, don’t panic and kick around.  The best thing you can do is to lay back with your arms spread.  Then you will float on top of the sand instead of being sucked down. by Sandy Sanderson; New York Times

Hometown Perspective

What is your perspective of where you live?  What do you like about it?  What don't you like about it?  Use details to help me understand the tone you are setting?  (Don't forget to tell me where you live.) What colors could help represent the tone you are trying to set and the mood you are trying to create? What kind of space--empty or full--might represent where you live? What song matches the tone and mood you are trying to set?
