Day+2-+The+Copyright+Laws+and+Taking+Notes

= = =The Copyright Laws and Taking Notes = = = = = =Nest we discuss the Copyright Law and what plagerism is. We talk about how we take notes from our sources and that we do not copy the entire sentences. We also discuss how to cite our sources and we do this together showing where we find all the information in our source. We give each source a number that we use to record with our notefacts to show where the information came from. = =When the kids are recording notes on their own, we place post-it notes on each source with the number on it. That way they know which number to record on their notefacts sheet for each source. = =Below is a copy of the Copyright Power Point we use with the kids and the page we site our sources on. = = = = = = = = = =For our first and second project, we read all the sources together, usually two of them, and then we record the notes together using a document viewer. You can also write your note facts on chart paper if you choose. = =To do this we read one sentence at a time and ask the kids to pull out the notefact we should write and we record it. The first day for this usually takes quite a bit of time as we talk and show how we only take the small fact to record and not every word we just read. In the apple at the end of the sheet, we record the number of the source we are using.
