"I think fondly of all of you, and am grateful I had the chance to work with you so
closely. I'll always wonder what's become of you. Teaching is like reading a
fascinating novel that you lose before you've finished the story. Drop me a line if
you get a chance."

from I AM A PENCIL - author Sam Swope's words - my sentiments.... Hugs, Ms. Nash

Forrester: No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!

Jamal: Opens the letter
Forrester: Dear Jamal, Someone I once knew wrote that we walk away from our dreams afraid that we may fail or worse yet, afraid we may succeed. You need to know that while I knew so very early that you would realize your dreams, I never imagined I would once again realize my own. Seasons change young man, and while I may have waited until the winter of my life, to see the things I've seen this past year, there is no doubt I would have waited too long, had it not been for you.

"Lindsay Jones, the fabulous librarian at Round Rock High School, has created an excellent lesson for students on copyright and plagiarism -- go to

http://rrhsstudentwiki.wikispaces.com/ - see 'Copyright Lesson' on the left side of the page, and click on any of the mini lessons. Ms. Bettin and I are using it with her 9th graders.

I especially like the specific directions for students on how to locate and cite images and music online to use for classroom presentations.

 

I've also added some resources about understanding copyright and avoiding plagiarism on my TeacherWeb: http://www.teacherweb.com/TX/RoundRockOpportunityCenter/Blumberg/t.aspx

then click on 'Publish Yes, Plagiarize No' and/or 'Documentation Guides.'

 

Together, we can teach our students when, why, and how to appropriately use and cite the work of others in their own papers, PowerPoints,Prezis, glogs, blogs, wikis, videos, etc." ~The RROC's FABULOUS Librarian, Ms. Blumberg
