 * Lesson Video:**
 * Procedure:**
 * If this lesson is used as part of the //Long Distance Email Race//, then review class progress with students. Elicit recent completed tasks. Field any questions.
 * Explain that the lesson is designed to help students give proper credit to the authors of the online resources they used during topic research
 * Elicit from students the definition and function of a bibliography
 * Present //Create a Bibliography.// In this presentation, slide-to-slide transitions are intentionally set without timing (allows for discussion and student participation); however, you will find specific slides use timings to pace choral/individual reading of important text. I recommend using these transitions to facilitate student participation via choral/individual reading of written text.
 * Refer to the teacher’s notes at the bottom of each slide which indicate discussion points.
 * It is highly recommended that students be required to read/spell the word //plagiarism//, as well as reading its definition.
 * When showing slide #3, draw students’ attention to the use and citation of an online resource, //plagiarism.org.// You may or may not wish to discuss APA format, in either case, students should come to understand that proper citation is legally required.
 * You will probably want to draw students’ attention to the usage of [ ] around “you’ve borrowed.” Explain the grammatical reason in terms students will understand; for example, “I’ve placed brackets around words I’ve added to the quote. I felt these words helped the sentence make clearer. The brackets indicate //my// words, not the author’s.”
 * Move through each slide at an appropriate pace.
 * Key terms to be used during lesson:
 * Bibliography
 * Plagiarism
 * Cite/citation/citing
 * Digital Citizen
 * Online resources
 * URL/web address
 * Digital/electronic resource
 * Quotation marks, brackets, ellipses


 * Materials:**
 * Computer/LCD projector or similar tools to present slide show.
