Credit the creator: text and pictures
ICT P5 Term 1, Theme 2: pp. 62–65
GoalQuote or paraphrase a writer fairly and credit a picture with title, creator, link and licence.
New words
quotation · the exact words of someone, written inside quotation marksparaphrase · to say the same idea in your own wordssource · where information comes fromplagiarism · using someone’s words as if they were yours
Explanation
There are two fair ways to use a writer’s words. A quotation copies a few exact words and puts them in quotation marks, with the writer’s name: ‘Camels can go many days without water,’ says Mr Hassan, a desert guide. A paraphrase keeps the idea but changes the words and the sentence shape: A camel can live a long time without a drink. Always name the source too. Copying without marks and a name is plagiarism, and it is unfair. For a picture, credit four things: its title, its creator, the link to the original and the kind of licence. Or make your own picture: then you are the owner.

Worked examples
Karim reads a sentence in a book: ‘The camel stores fat in its hump.’ He writes: In her book on desert animals, Ms Aly says, ‘The camel stores fat in its hump.’ Quotation marks and the name show that the words are not his.
Farida paraphrases the same sentence: A camel keeps its spare fat in its hump. The idea is the same, the words are new, and she still writes the book’s name as the source.
Habiba’s class makes a poster about shoes. They draw their own shoe instead of copying an advert for a shoe shop, so the poster is theirs and needs no permission.
Class activity
Quote and credit. Choose a short sentence from a school book you like (copy only a few words). Write it in quotation marks with the writer’s name. Then paraphrase it in your own words and name the book. Last, write the four things you would credit for a picture, using an invented example. Check with a partner.
