Response to comments...

Thanks for the great comments! I think you all raise some valid points. I agree, the topic of using someone else's work and passing it off, as their own work should be addressed as soon as students start doing any type of research. Plagiarism doesn't only happen when doing research on the WWW, it can also be done from using books.

Perhaps with younger children we don't have to get too far into what plagiarism means as apposed to simply explaining that it is wrong to 'copy' someone's work, whether that be the person next to you or if it is from a book or the WWW.
