op, you were "once again" accused of plagiarism? granted, teachers range from great to ******* awful and yours might be on the latter end of the spectrum, but most of us don't throw accusations like that around without some reason. your vocabulary might have shown a huge leap between this paper and the last, or your sentence structure has changed dramatically, or something else about your style seems off. if your teacher truly is that ignorant, fyl--talk to his supervisor. if the teacher is simply comparing your current work to your previous efforts and reaching this conclusion, ydi! no one's writing style changes that much that quickly.

Time for the instructor to go back to remedial classes!

Your teacher fails. When I had my AP classes, we were practically required to use words such as those and many more "sophisticated" words. I feel for you, OP.

why are you taking AP?? I took all AP in high school and honestly... it's not worth it. All it is, is more work from the same class that's "lower" then you. Universities don't even care if you took AP classes. It doesn't make your application look any better. I'm just telling you from my experience. My nephew just dropped his AP courses because universities don't care. In regards to your wording... when I took my AP courses, they wouldn't let us use those words when I was in high school. Someone most likely plagiarized in that area... one bad apple ruins it for the rest.

I'm quite sure that your teacher making the accusation that you plagiarized, didn't make the accusation because of the vocabulary usage, but the content that surrounded those words. If you look at the rest of your paper, you might realize that you may have used weak vocabulary. Where as, after reading the sentence or so which you used the specific words, it might have alarmed him or her. The idea might not have been as common for you rather than someone else to bring about. Think a little out of the box, a teacher wouldn't accuse you of plagiarism because of vocabulary usage itself.

Since when could single words be classed as plagiarism? Surely if they thought you were cheating they would just google a suspicious sentence of your work and see if it had any exact results.

Since when is "rural" a sophisticated word? Your teacher is a douche who doesn't know the difference between sheer brilliance and her sheer stupidity.

I dunno what 11th grade equivalent is here in Ireland but either way your teacher is a dumbass.

your teacher must really hate you.
