Lesson Plans

Copyright Laws and Citizenship Part 3:

Students will create a Scratch project to educate their peers on how to identify if an intellectual work is protected under copyright laws and therefore must be cited if used in research or if it is public domain. Students will also need to connect copyright compliance with being responsible and copyright infringement with plagiarism. This is lesson 3 of a 3-part unit.

Copyright Laws and Citizenship Part 2:

Students will research the required criteria for intellectual property to remain protected under copyright laws and when that intellectual property becomes public domain. Students will create a flow chart of "if-then" conditional statements to sort information concerning whether or not intellectual property is public domain or still protected under US copyright laws. This is the second lesson in a 3-lesson unit.
