Argument
Amy Robillard and Ron Fortune have written this article to inform the reader on plagiarism, and to argue that writing courses of all levels should include forgery and plagiarism in an attempt to educate students on the writing process and to expose them to a professional level of writing.

Key Passages
Examining forgery and plagiarism as instances of writing yields insights into the interplay between the ways a writer tries to accumulate value to his or her work and how and why a culture accedes to or resists this effort (206).

We have argued here that forgery and plagiarism are particularly useful ways of exploring the political and cultural situatedness of writing and, in the process, of giving writing courses—introductory through advanced—a content that is thoroughly relevant to the work students undertake in these and other courses (205-206).
