Explanation about my graphic

I used the "Paper by FiftyThree" app to create a sketch note drawing of what plagiarism can look like. It was fun to get creative using the tools that were optional to draw out my picture. My favorite tool is the ruler option that helps your shapes look cleaner than what I could draw myself. I didn't have sources to site due to drawing by free hand. I did look up ideas of plagiarism graphics, but I didn't copy anyone's as far as I know. Most that I saw involved someone taking the lightbulb out of someone else's head representing the stealing of ideas. I took it from my own experiences because I remember classmates asking each other to borrow each other's work, and I knew that was wrong because it's not only cheating; it's also plagiarism. My picture shows a little girl asking her friend if she can borrow his A+ paper to copy. My message is for my students to know to say no to those kind of situations because it would be considered plagiarism if he did.
