HIDDEN FIGURES: SCORING THE ESSAYS

Most students have, at this point, submitted an electronic document containing an essay based on the film 'Hidden Figures'. 

 If you have not done this yet, students, make sure that you do so before the end of the current unit (this Friday, September 8th).

Since most of these items are electronic, they will be scored on-line.   Mr. Hatfield will use the following Rubric to score the essays:

Please note the importance of students doing their own work.   There is nothing wrong with using sources other than the film or the materials shown in class.   However, if such sources are used they must be acknowledged in a bibliography, even if they are not quoted word-for-word;  sources which are quoted, word-for-word, must be clearly shown with quotation marks.

As failing to do these things is commonly recognized as plagiarism, lacking in integrity, students who plagiarize not only lose points, but may be subject to discipline.
