Maybe, I am just tired, jaded, or just plain losing my mind. I was grading my 8th Graders argumentative essays today. So, get this! One student's essay was "Cheating is on a Decline in School". I ran it through my plagiarism checker and Brisk, just to find that only one paragraph was original. The rest of it was just copy and pastes from three different websites. I literally laughed out loud at the irony of it. Seriously, how would you go about talking to him, and what would you say?

Print out and highlight all the plagiarized parts. Give the student the grade they deserve for the original part. Then, make a copy to keep
In case the parents or admin ask. Write something like”ver funny!” Or “nice try, but…” on it and give it back to them. Don’t say anything or give any attention for it. Just let the student know you know…

I talked to him and he acted like it was no big deal.

I would be honest and point out the irony! Like another person said also highlight the plagiarized portions.

Follow up. After giving the studentthe opportunity to fix the paper, doing a referral, and talking with the Principal and dean-no change or fixing the paper.
