I suggest you thoroughly change the wording in your essay. Beware of cliches and common expressions. Your teacher will find the same accusation of plagiarism.

IS it still considered plagiarism if I change the wording of something from a website?

Ms. Sue · Answer

If some of your words come from the website, it's plagiarism. You should read more than one website, take notes, and then write your own essay.
