Standards Met:

Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior.

a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media

d. Contribute to project teams

Enduring Understanding:

There are rights and responsibilities associated with the use of information and technology. (?)

This could be taught alongside any unit where students need to do research.

Essential Questions:

Why do we need to cite information?

What kinds of information need to be cited?

How does citation contribute to your rights and responsibilities as a digital citizen?

GRASPS Task:

Goal: Do research for a report

Role: This could vary based on unit and age. Some ideas are:

• Scientist studying an animal and its habitat
• Reporter traveling back in time to witness an important event
• Doctor creating a pamphlet about hygiene

Audience: This could vary based on unit and age. Some ideas corresponding to the roles above are:

• students in a particular grade
• average citizen who reads the newspaper
• patient

Situation: You need to write a report for a particular audience. As you write make sure that you record your sources. For the pictures you include in your report, make sure you are allowed to include them as well (for 3 to 5).

Product: A bibliography for the information report in MLA form, using the continuum on Academically Honest.

Six Facets of Understanding:

Explain: Create a checklist explaining how you know if something needs to be cited (K-2) and if you are able to use it (fair use, public domain included for 3-5) * (see below)

Interpret: Create a citation pledge using the learner profile / TADS

Example

Use the Generate-Sort-Elaborate-Connect routine in Visible Thinking and Citation to get started.

Apply: Use the copyright flowchart to create a more personal flowchart outlining copyright. Do the See-Think-Wonder routine in Visible Thinking and Citation.

Have perspective: Examine some examples of citations and decide if they are accurate. For grades 3-5, examine some images and decide if you are able to use them. Do the Think, Pair, Share in Visible Thinking and Citation

Empathize: Create role-play about someone copying your work from the internet. Do the Circle of Viewpoints routine in Visible Thinking and Citation.

Have self-knowledge: Assess own work against the descriptors on the Academically Honest blog, the self assessment checklist and/or this RUBRIC. Complete the Bridge 3-2-1 routine in Visible Thinking and Citation.
