Lesson 7:
Intellectual Property


Picture

THE LESSON MISSION

Picture


I can show respect for people's intellectual property.


CHALLENGE 1:  THINK ABOUT IT 

Picture
How would you feel if you had an idea or created something that was original and someone else pretended your idea or work was theirs?  

​Is there anything you could have done to prevent this from happening?  How could you prove that your idea or work was actually yours?


CHALLENGE 2:  UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUE 

Plagiarism

Intellectual property is a person's idea, creation, or work that he or she has claimed ownership for under the law.  The law gives that person control over the idea, creation, or work.  He or she gets to determine who can use it, how it is used, or if it can be used by others at all.  Intellectual property is protected by law.
Picture
Plagiarism is copying and pasting text, images, video, or anything that someone else created without giving credit. Plagiarism is cheating, and it’s against school rules.

If a teacher asks you to write a report or complete a project, the teacher expects you not to copy others’ work, whether it’s from a webpage or from your best friend. Even if you copy something into your own handwriting or retype it yourself, it’s still plagiarism.

Copyright laws protect the ownership of authors’ written works, photos, drawings, videos, and other graphics by requiring that people who make copies do so only with the permission of the owner. However certain use of such works for schoolwork are considered “fair use” and do not require copyright permission, only that credit or a citation be given. 

The Lesson Tool Box

Picture
intellectual property:  an idea, creation, or work that gives a person credit and control over the idea, creation, or work and is protected by law

plagiarism:  copying and pasting text, images, video, or anything that someone else created without giving credit

copyright laws: laws that protect the ownership of authors’ written works, photos, drawings, videos, and other graphics by requiring that people who make copies do so only with the permission of the owner

fair use:  work that do not require copyright permission, only that credit or a citation be given


respect:  is a way of showing that you admire and value something

citation:  the key information about a source used for a report or other research project, including its author, title, publisher, and date of publication

footnotes: a note at the bottom of a page that gives extra information about something in the text on that page 

bibliography: a list of the books and articles that have been used by someone when writing a book or article
Citing Work
Picture
Another reason it is important not to plagiarize is so they show respect for work and ideas that others create.  Respect is a way of showing that you admire and value something.  You show respect for other people's work when you give them credit when you use their work.  One way to give them credit is by providing a citation.  A citation is the key information about a source used for a report or other research project, including its author, title, publisher, and date of publication.

It is important to include citations in a report, project, or presentation as a formal way to give credit to other people’s work they use. Citations also help others find the information that students have drawn from in their work. Citations are usually found in the footnotes or bibliography section of a report or book. 

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

Picture
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

Picture

​Let's see if you could properly cite an internet source.  Below is the information about two websites.  With your shoulder partner, work together to put the information in MLA format.  You can use the example in Challenge 2.  Click on the button below that reads, Citing Activity to complete the activity.
