Plagiarize is like copying someone else’s drawing and saying you made it. Imagine your friend drew a beautiful rainbow with crayons, and you took that drawing and told everyone it was yours. That wouldn’t be fair, right? It’s important to show others what you can do all by yourself.
Another way to think about plagiarizing is like baking cookies. If you take cookies from a friend and pretend you baked them, you’re not showing your own baking skills. It’s much better to bake your own cookies, even if they’re a little different. Your cookies show what makes you special!
Think of plagiarizing as borrowing a toy from a friend but never giving it back. When you borrow something, you should always return it and say thank you. If you keep it without asking, it’s not nice and can make your friend sad. Just like toys, ideas and drawings belong to the person who made them, and we should always be honest about where they came from.
Plagiarizing is like wearing a superhero costume and pretending you have superpowers when you don’t. It’s fun to dress up, but it’s important to be yourself and show what you can really do without pretending to be someone else.
