The 5th grade students just finished up researching 7 facts about their country. The students learned how to highlight, copy and paste their information from the Internet into their Country Facts sheet. Practice this tool at home.
This also included copying and pasting each web site where they obtained each fact as per following copyright policies. We talk to the students about how copying the information is okay as long as the web site is provided, but as soon as you start using that information, let's say in their Microsoft Word Poster or Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation, then they need to reword the information into their own 5th grade language to showcase to others. During this process the students also blogged information with other 5th grade students at other WCSD elementary schools to share similar information, as all of the WCSD 5th graders are doing the same project.
