Lesson 7:
Intellectual Property
THE LESSON MISSION
How to Cite
There are many different ways to cite other people's work. One common method is the MLA Method. Let's pretend you wanted to use the article entitled, One Small Step, One Great Man by Cameron Keady that you found on the Time for Kids website. Below, is the way you would cite this source.
Keady, Cameron. “One Small Step, One Great Man.” Time for Kids. Time Inc., 27 Aug. 2012. Web. 07 Sep. 2012. <http://www.timeforkids.com/news/one-small-step-one-great-man/44396>.

Sometimes you will not be able to find all the information to cite a source. If this happens you should include all the information that is available. There are many websites online now that will do the citing for you. All you have to do is copy and paste the url address into the website citing box.
CHALLENGE 3: USING WHAT YOU KNOW

Below are several polls with different scenarios regarding intellectual property. I will read each scenario to the class. Then, you will discuss the scenario with your shoulder partner. If you do not have a shoulder partner, join the other shoulder partners at your table. Decide if the person’s action in each scenario was okay or not okay, and select your answer in the poll. We will discuss each scenario after everyone votes. Let's get started. Click on the button that reads, Scenario Polls, below.
CHALLENGE 4: SHOWING WHAT YOU KNOW
