𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝘀. That confusion makes sense to me--the lines between plagiarism, parody, homage, excerpt, and fanfiction are, after all, blurred in our everyday lives: YouTube videos featuring songs with the lyrics slightly changed, fanfiction posted on popular internet sites, and excerpts of news stories posted on social media. This class seeks to help students understand what, exactly, plagiarism is,...
Students should emerge with an understanding of the differences between plagiarism, copying, parody, fanfiction, homage, and researched information.
I am the author of sixteen books for tweens and teens, including the 𝘗𝘪𝘱 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵'𝘴 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 series (Scholastic), the 𝘌𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘦, 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳 series (Bloomsbury), and the 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 series (Bloomsbury). My books are published in twenty-three languages around the world, and have won multiple state and national awards. I have taught creative writing classes across the country at schools, libraries, colleges, and camps, and have taught over 5000 students here on Outschool! In addition to being an author-- whose work has been plagiarized before-- I have also taught writing courses across the world at camps, universities, schools, and seminars. I also edited and reviewed college admissions essays-- where I not only encountered plagiarism on a regular basis, but was asked to quietly commit it. I am eager to help students understand where "the line" is and why respecting that line is so important!
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Below are my general classroom rules and policies. These will also be explained to students when we begin class! -For everyone's safety, and to ensure an engaging and social experience, students are required to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned such that we can both hear and see them. -Students are asked not to use filters or virtual backgrounds-- though if there is an important reason to use a virtual background, please just let me know ahead of time that your student will be using one (no questions asked!). -Students will be asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, pronoun, and a favorite book. -The Zoom text chat is set to "host only", meaning students can chat with me, but not to one another or the entire classroom.
