Please read the following articles, which all pertain to a media scandal that occurred in 2012 in which science writer Jonah Lehrer was accused of “self-plagiarism.”

In your one to one-and-a-half page reading response, I would like you to use the readings to answer the question: Is what Lehrer did plagiarism? Why or why not? You should use the templates in the book They Say, I Say from the section “Three Ways to Respond” (55-67). In addition, use the strategies outlined in the section “Connecting the Parts” (105-118) –use transitions, pointing words, and repeat yourself, but with a difference–to put the articles into conversation with one another.
