Read the warmup question to the class. Have students think quietly to themselves.
Then, have students turn to a partner and share ideas.
Be ready to share your ideas with the class. Say: What does the word "creator" mean?
Ask Students: Have you ever used someone else's creation online, like an image or a quote from an article?
Ask for students to share their responses.
Explain: When we create something, it's automatically ours. We have protections in place to make sure others don't use our work and say it's theirs. This protection is called copyright.

Prompt students to work in groups to complete Part 2 of the handout. Clarify that students should discuss their ideas as a group before writing down their responses. (Slide 7)
Ask: Do you think copyright is important? Why does it matter who gets credit for something?

Ask: Let's say you're doing a report on the history of the World Cup. You search Google for images and find the perfect image of a crazily screaming fan you want to use in your report. How will you decide whether you can use it or not?
Invite students to respond.
Emphasize: Before using any images, or anyone's creative work of any kind, practice "Ask and Attribute."

Read the scenario aloud. Students should give a thumbs up or a thumbs down for whether this is: OK, according to copyright protections, or NOT OK.
Say: Here is the scenario. Manny has to write a science report about where his local water comes from. He finds a paragraph on a website that is just right for his report. Manny copies it in his own handwriting and changes a couple of words to make it sound like something he would say. Is this "OK" or "no way"?
Thumbs up or Thumbs down
Invite students to share out their reasoning. Clarify that the correct answer is "no way" because Manny copied the article. Even though he changed a few words and wrote it in his own handwriting, it's still plagiarism. In addition, he didn't provide attribution.
Have students complete the Lesson Quiz (FYI: Teachers will need to sign into Common Sense Media and share the quiz with students through Google Classroom. Students cannot make accounts in Common Sense Media.).
