Hi Everyone,
I'd like to know if any of you have taught any plagiarism mini-units, or have
any great lesson plans for that, websites, ideas for guest speakers or field
trips, etc. We've had a small rash break out in our middle school, and I want
to enlighten ;> the kiddos about it.
Thanks,
Nancy Carroll

My colleague did a great job a few weeks ago -- she told her students they were
starting a poetry unit, and gave them a copy a of a poem she had written. They
read it together as a class, critiqued it, and then opened a poetry anthology
to look at a few others. "Her" poem was on the same page as the one they were
critiquing. Kids were shocked, angry, & upset that she would "copy" a poem and
hand it off as her own...and she used it as an example of how teachers feel
when students try to do that to us.
Might be a good start...
