Hey Ally, is it plagiarism (how's that?!)if when you are writing a biography to use many exact or similar statements as someone else? I'm not going to be writing my opinions, just information. I can't really change info or facts to be my own.
When writing a biography plagiarism can be pretty tricky... What I want you to do this time around (and I'll give you further instruction on Friday) is to write the facts that you find - don't copy them word-for-word - and then to make a list of the sources you used at the end of the document.

Is that helpful at all?

Yes that's helpful, thank you!

Hey Ally, I have a kind of funny question for you. Are we limited to one page for our bio on Jane Austen or can we go over? :)
