Copyright Scavenger Hunt small medium large <font color=purple><b> <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/smharter/qwintro.htm"> THAT'S ORIGINAL: Copyright WebQuest</a></font> Thank you to Susan Harter from Cupertino Union School District for most of this material. <p> Have you ever wondered what you are allowed to copy from the internet? Have you ever used text or a picture from the internet in a report and wondered if you were breaking any copyright laws? Well, you should! What in the world is a copyright law? This Scavenger Hunt will take you on a journey through copyright regulations and help you to consider what is and is not fair to use. <p> 1. Go to the Cyberbee site listed below (underlined). You will need to scroll down to "Copyright with Cyberbee" (it's under the "Math Enhancer"). Then click on the "Interactive Tool" link in blue. Once you get there click on the picture of the little kids, they have a caption under the picture that reads: <font color=red>Click to View Interactive Copyright Questions and Answers </font>. Write the answers to each question on a right sided page in your notebook. R the Q. and put the answers (notes)in your own words where possible. <a href="http://www.cyberbee.com/">Copyright with Cyberbee page</a> <p> 2. Click on the link below for "A Visit to Copyright Bay" website (underlined). Click on "text version" at the very bottom of the page, and then click on "Background Beach." Read about the history of copyright and take 2 column notes on a right sided page in your language arts notebook. <a href="http://www.stfrancis.edu/cid/copyrightbay/">Copyright Bay</a> Then read the history of copyright law and take two column notes from this website: Be sure to <font color=red>paraphrase</font>. <a href="http://law.jrank.org/pages/5722/Copyright-History-Copyright-Law.html"> The History of Copyright Law</a> The ARL site below has a time line, which you might find easier to follow for the history of copyrights. Be sure to <font color=red>paraphrase</font>. <a href="http://www.arl.org/pp/ppcopyright/copyresources/copytimeline.shtml">ARL</a> 3. Next, click on the "Copyright Module 2:..." Website (see link below [underlined]). You and your partner should "reciprocally read" this brief summary and take two column (Cornell) notes on any information you don't already have in your notes. List the evolution of copyright laws<b> in your language arts notebook on a right sided page. Title the list.</b> Then answer the question at the bottom of the page about digital media. The question is: Recall the original utilitarian justification for copyright law, the idea that copyright protection fosters scientific and artistic development by giving creators incentive to create. Does the DMCA promote this aim? Why or why not? <a href="http://cnx.org/content/m14064/latest/">Copyright Module 2: The History and Future of U.S. Copyright Laws</a> <p> 4. Explore "A Visit to Copyright Bay" website (underlined). Click on "text version" at the very bottom of the page, and then click on "Background Beach." What does copyright protect and not protect? (You have to keep clicking on the right pointing arrow to get to the list). List these in your language arts notebook. Title these lists. <a href="http://www.stfrancis.edu/cid/copyrightbay/">Copyright Bay</a> 5. Next you will visit a website that explains and gives examples of plagiarism. In your notebook write: What is the meaning of plagiarism (what are the examples they give)? and the answer. Then, scroll down to "How to Recognize Unacceptable and Acceptable Paraphrases." Read the two examples and explain (in your notebook) why the one is plagiarism and the other is not. Finally, scroll down to "Strategies for Avoiding Plagiarism" and list the three recommended strategies in your notebook. <a href="http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml"> How to Avoid Plagiarism</a> 6. Use what you've learned from questions 1-5 to answer the following questions in your language arts notebook. a.) What copyright laws surprised you? b.) What regulations were you already familiar with? c.) How will you make sure your projects and reports this year do not violate copyright laws? d.) Why is this topic important for us to consider not just from a legal standpoint but from an ethical point of view? Discuss the above questions with your group AFTER you've answered them individually. Take notes about what other group members have to say. This will help you with your PowerPoint slide(s) and Presentation. 7. Write the answers (your opinions)to the following questions in your L.A. notebook. After you've answered the questions individually have a group discussion about them. a.) What are the events that are occurring again and again? b.) How are the ideas related between past, present, and future? c.) What is still not understood about this topic? 8. Create a PowerPoint presentation to share what you learned. Do <b><font color=red>NOT </b></font>put the answers to numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 in your powerpoint. You are to use what you learned from those questions to form your answers for 6 & 7. A. Group Instructions: a.) After the discussion of questions 6 & 7 read every thing that follows for this assignment. Discuss as a group. b.) Your group PowerPoint should include at least one slide on each of the questions in numbers 6, and 7 above. Each PowerPoint slide must be based on the group's consensus of the answers for #6 & 7. c.) You may use images (document them) and backgrounds. Remember, if you have annoying transitions and sounds, you will be graded down. d.)You can put the slides with these answers in any order you think is logical for your presentation. e.) Your group will also need to create a slide for your Bibliography (works cited)and a title slide with all group members names on it. f.) Create a story board and have it approved by the teacher before proceeding. g.)Once everyone's individual slides are complete, have your teacher check the individual slides for your group. h.)E-mail your slides to each other. Each of you need to experience importing slides to a presentation. When you are finished each computer in your group should have your group's entire presentation on it. B. Individual Slides: a.) Each student will be responsible for two powerpoint slides. b.) Create your PowerPoint slides on your computer. Save them in your period file folder, and somewhere else (e-mail is preferable). Each person will be graded on their individual slides. Your PowerPoint slide must be based on the group's consensus of the answers for #6 & 7. . c.) Use bullets instead of sentences where possible d.) Backup what you have to say with quotes from your sources. Cite your sources on your slide and on the last slide. e.) You will need an image and background that is complementary with the rest of the group slides. f.) You will be graded down for transitions that make the presentation too long, and annoying sounds. Some sound is o.k., too much is not. Each student is responsible for two slides, your slides must represent the entire group's ideas. Use this '07-'08 New Source May, 2006: <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~cnew/research.htm">Copyright</a> Also: Next year ('07-'08) have students research what recording artists have said about illegal copies of their music, videos, etc. and how it affects their income and lives. Have them incorporate this info into their PowerPoint (the slide where they answer why this is important from an ethical point of view). <ahref="http://www.arl.org/pp/ppcopyright/copyresourc/copytimeline.shtml>ARL</a> From Joyce Baran: http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/ Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
