... I do not believe I have plagiarized and neither do my parents ...
.
So ... you don’t believe you plagiarized but your most recent English teacher said you plagiarized.
@Old Navy BGO is right. You need to face this head on, and you have time to do this. Independently,
deconstruct what you wrote. Use the tool that
@shep753 talks about too. I am sure that that tool will have several different types of plagiarism scoring models. It’s a Modeling patterns problem.
Know what you have and what you did before you Face the teacher that is accusing you of this. If that College teacher will not meet with you to discuss this, then meet with her Department head boss at the College or University. I would think you can use Skype or some tool like that to meet with them safely.
Work the problem. You have time. Keep cool about it all the time.
**************************
One very important consideration .... If you were not 100% satisfied with the writing that you submitted, then right there is a problem.
Writing is organic. Sometimes, even the shortest expressions take the longest time to be satisfied with .... You write, you reflect, you get tired, you put it away till the next day, revisit it, and continue the process.
Constant construction and Deconstruction until you are satisfied. You do the same thing in your projects, science and engineering. There are parts of this house that I want tear down and rebuild. I do that with every project .... and I love writing and tearing it apart until I’m satisfied.
Writing is one thing that DD is really good at too .... where did that come from .... naturally able to express.
