B.+Plagiarism+Webquest

In the interest of plagiarism ... it needs to be noted that I did NOT create this webquest. I found it on the internet and believe my students can benefit from it. I have altered this webquest in two ways. First, I have removed broken links or corrected links if I could find new links to the same information. Second, I added the review game. I found the game elsewhere and believe it will be a fun, worthwhile review for students. PAMS Plagiarism WebQuest
