While working on our Personal Projects we have been talking about copyright and plagiarism.
Mrs P showed us a diagram which helps us remember to make our work our own:
- In the bottom left is the information we read and use to inform us about our topic.
- At the top is our brain – we have to use our brain to think about the information, to ask more questions and to try and synthesise the information + our prior knowledge + background info. This will help us answer our small questions.
- On the bottom right is our Project or response to our “Big Question”. This is where we present what we have learned in our words – to answer our own individual question.
We are all trying hard to use this triangle to help us use the information we find!
