Plagiarism is a thorny issue at this time of year trapped beneath mountains of assignment, but I just wanted to note this graphic by Turnitin which suggests that there are twenty ways of creating unoriginal content not all of which are equally evil:
Whilst some of these categories work better than others, the language used should enable a more stimulating discussion about creating stuff, originality and using others’ work in/as/though/with your own. The graphic above is a small section of a more extensive infographic which expands and gives practical examples which would probably work well in the classroom. I just wish they’d done separate .jpg files so that they would be easier to … use/copy/remix …
