Q3 The Source: Introduction

7. Be Legal & Fair

introduction

The Internet allows us to share and access information, stay connected, locate audio, video, text, images, software, and more! With access to all this information, it is everyone's responsibility to understand how to credit the author or creator of their work.

In this Quest, you will learn to cite the source of a poem or a lyric, the source of an image, or a photo from the resources provided.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

I can:

  • Use a citation-making site for resources.
  • Give credit to the person who created the work.

Discussion questions to think about while playing the video below:

  • What are two situations shown in the video where you must give credit (cite) the source, and why do you think those matter?
  • What’s one example from your own schoolwork—like a book report or a presentation—where you might not need to cite a source? Why don’t you need to give credit in that case?
