Hi Room 15,

1. Digital Passport: Module 5 - Creative Credit

This is the final week of our 'Digital Passport' module.

Essential Question: How do you properly give and receive credit for creative work?

• learn about copyright, credit, and plagiarism, and apply it to their own creative work

• reflect on the ethical importance of giving credit to others for their work

• determine how to receive credit for their own digital creations

Game

Estimated time: 20 minutes

Create your own mashup and learn to give proper credit for artists whose work you remix.

Mission: Mix-n-Mash

Estimated time: 15 minutes

You need to imagine that your band’s song was ripped off by another artist. Your mission is to write a song about how you feel. Follow the instructions found in your Home Learning folder. Add the song lyrics to your slideshow.

Extension: If you want a challenge, you might like to write a piece of music on your preferred instrument or computer program and record your song!

Wrap Up:

What is plagiarizing, and why is it disrespectful?

Plagiarizing is saying work that someone else made is yours when it’s not. Not only is it illegal, but it is disrespectful to the creator since he or she put the time and effort into making it. Also, creators should get to decide how their work is used.

How can you give someone else credit for their work?

You should always include the author or creator’s name next to the work that you are using. It is also a good idea to show when that person’s work was created and where you found it.

What is a good way to get credit for your own work?

Put your name on it. You also can include the date and place where it was created.
