OK, tomorrow morning we will learn how cite sources. For this assignment, if you plagiarize, you will lose five points, and if you forget to cite your sources, you will lose three points. Citing sources is when you find some information, put that information in your paper, and tell everyone where you got the information. For example,...

...According to Stuart Ewen, the author of PR: A Social History of Spin, the term "public relations" was invented because the word "propaganda" was associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Before the Nazis, "propaganda" was the word that and public relations men and women used to describe their work.

For here on out, you will be expected to cite your sources. And, as always, if you plagiarize you will lose points.

Do some research on your topic tonight. Tomorrow, we will spend some time in the computer lab doing research. Here is when everything is due.
