Before the lesson begins, the teacher writes a paragraph about a favorite toy from his/her childhood. The paragraph is read to the class, and each of the sentences are closely looked at for details and support of the topic sentence. Then, students get to write about their own favorite toy and read their paragraph to a partner. The partners try to find words and phrases that they both used to describe their toy which leads to a discussion on plagiarism, or, stealing someone elses ideas and words for a story.
