This assignment involves two main components: first, providing comprehensive definitions of key academic terms, and second, reflecting on a piece of literature meaningful to the student. The first part requires a detailed explanation of terms such as plagiarism, in-text citation, citation/bibliography, Works Cited page, and Turnitin.com, each articulated in three to five sentences with relevant examples. This helps demonstrate understanding of fundamental research and writing standards necessary for academic integrity and proper source acknowledgment. The second part asks students to select a poem, song, short story, or book that has had an impactful resonance in their life, providing the literary excerpt and explaining what makes it meaningful to them.

In the reflection, students should include the title, author, and a brief summary if applicable, then discuss why this piece of literature speaks to them or has special significance. Using Google Docs or Word, students must compile their responses, ensure the inclusion of an MLA heading and header, and submit the document as instructed. This assignment encourages the development of research skills, understanding of academic honesty, and personal engagement with literature, enhancing both critical thinking and expressive abilities.
