I picked this photo because the Women’s World Cup starts next month and I am SO EXCITED. We are going for our fourth gold!

I picked this photo because my dad’s dog, Kona, is the smartest and most well behaved dog I have ever met. He’s older now (eleven), so I love how much this pup looks like him. It makes me happy.

With my adaptation, I added the Man’s Best Friend at the top since Kona is literally my dad’s best friend.
Whew, this week at first scared me. I have never really thought about copyright until after our first video on the importance. Now, I totally get it. I think about me and if I took the amazing picture of the golden retriever above, I wouldn’t want people making money off of something I made and not giving me credit for it/a share of the profits. With that being said, that is exactly how I will teach my students in the future when students are working on a project. I know my middle schoolers are all about money, so if I frame it in that state of mind, they will take it more seriously. The one question I have is there a website where you can plug this in and it makes the citation for you (like easybib.com)? Following the example from the lecture was easy, but what about for twelve year olds? They may struggle.
In my classroom, I could teach them this by making my own picture of the citation and then using foldplay.com, make a puzzle, and they work as a group to put the pieces together. We could discuss what they noticed and what goes where. Then, they could write this on their notes paper so they have it as a guide. It could also be a breakout box lesson where they have a picture and then each part of the citation helps them break out. That would make it fun and help them remember more than if I just go over it at the front of the room.
In my English specific class when it comes to the curriculum I teach now, I could again use foldplay.com, have them write a short story, and make a fold book of their photos and writing. That would be pretty fun!

I love the idea of using it as park of the breakout box. That sounds like something your students would enjoy. I agree with you about teaching the students to cite an image. Here one of our standards is to teach them how to do in text citations and a works cited page, but we do not go over image citation. I am going to make sure this is discussed in my classroom.

Hi Natalie,
I like your idea of using the foldplay website for a breakout box! My students love doing them in the libary and it is a great way to integrate content. Adding another step with a foldplay puzzle would make it even better! Thanks for sharing this great idea.

Natalie,
Your ideas are creative and engaging! Just what is needed to grab the attention of the students and keep them focused for the time they are in the library. The suggestions are great for team building and for reinforcing the importance of proper citations. We were on the same page with the ability levels of students, although you were focused on middle school while I was focused on elementary. Discussing a topic that might be challenging by connecting it something students can relate is definitely the way to go! Break outs are so much fun and this would be a great topic for one.
