Scenario: Your ILA teacher assigns your class 10 questions to answer individually before class tomorrow. Tommy and Chuckie decided to each do 5 questions and then swap answers that evening after they finish.
Academic Dishonesty Storyboard
For homework, please complete 10 questions to answer individually before class tomorrow. That's all.

1. I would definitely consider this as cheating since the instructor has specifically said not to.2. In this scenario, Chuckie and Tommy are the ones who's cheating.3. They cheated by sharing the assignment when they they're specifically instructed to work on it independently.4. If I was in this situation, I would not even have cheated in the first place and instead honestly done the assignment. If I found out someone was cheating, I would ask them not to, and if that didn't work, I would tell a trusted adult such as a parent or teacher.
Chuckie
If it weren't for our ILA homework, we could have a homework free day. Hmph! So not fair! I don't want to do it anyways.
I got an idea! Why don't we split the work? You do 5 questions, I do 5 and and then we swap answers this evening after we finish.

I'm sorry, but I had to.. Cheating is very serious.
I am very disappointed in you two for cheating in the assessment. You two will be getting 0s on your assignment.
Questions: 1. Would you consider this cheating? Why or why not? 2. Who is cheating in your scenario? 3. How did they cheat? Explain. 4. How would you handle this situation if you were placed in this situation?
