The War of the Words

“Who’s This Guy Dylan Who’s Borrowing Lines From Henry Timrod?” The basic question in this instructional activity from the New York Time’s Learning Network is whether artists and authors who use the words of others are stealing from that artist or honoring him/her. Richly detailed, the instructional activity includes lists of resources, warm-up and wrap-up activities, resource links, discussion questions and assessment activities. Sure to generate interest in the intellectual property/plagiarism debate.
