Overview of the Year So Far

We have some very exciting projects going on in our Spanish classes! Our 3rd Grade and 8th Grade classes have ePals in Spain. The 8th grade class has already sent their first e-mail, and we are waiting for a response. The 3rd grade classes have written TWO e-mails and one postcard! They have received postcards from their ePals as well. This is such an exciting time in our Spanish classes. I am working on getting ePals for other grades as well.

Our Spanish Club is also working on some special projects. We did OUTSTANDING selling pulseras, or in English bracelets, made by children in an orphanage in Nigaragua. The proceeds from the sale go to help fund education to these children. The bracelets are $5 and come with a name and picture of the child who made it. The founders of the organization were so impressed with our efforts! We raised $1,890 which was one of the most successful sales they have ever seen in over 260 schools. The money we raised has allowed one of the students in Nicaragua to attend college for a full four years! For more information on this project check out www.pulseraprojects.org.

Also, our 7th grade students were on the news this year. KTVE (Channel 10) did a story on technology in education and came to film our 7th graders working on a weather forecast on Prezi.

In the Paragraph you learned that anything you create that you worked for a while on you would not want anyone to copy it and claim it as heir own. When you want to have something copyrighted so that you own it. To prove that the work is yours you must have certified papers. For some one to use it they must have your permission and give all rights of the play, movie, or song to you.

I think it's important to know about the copyright laws because you know not to do it and what it is. Copyrighting is not right because it's stealing another's work. Doing that is called plaguarism. Copyright laws prevent sopmeone from stealing someone's ideas or paintings or any original work. And that is very important because if we didn't have copyright laws, people could steal woohat ever they want from another person and not even be able to get blamed! That's why knowing about copyrighting is very important!

I think it is important to know about copyright. If we ever have something copied from us we need to know what to do. If we didnt know about copyright. And something we wrote got copied. We might just let that person get away with copying our work. And that is illegal

Copyright is important because someone could just steal your ideas and get rich. Copyright helps for you to be able to control and protect your ideas. Would you want someone to steal your ideas? It is basically the golden rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated!

Copyright is so important because it proves it is your original work. It also means that no one can copy your work. If they do copy your work the will be fined or arrested. It also shows that you are the owner. If we diddnt have copy right people would be staling others work. Thats why copyright is so important.

"Why should I care about Copyright"

Copyright is important because with copyright you can prove that this is your own.It reflects our appreciation for original works of authorship.Copyright laws helps prevent doing things with your work or things you don't like.With copyright people can do plays,movies,and music of your work.People are not allowed to do these things without copyright.

Copyright is a lot more important than you think because you could be pressed with charges if you get the police involed which may happen even if you don't expect it. It is really easy to follow the copyright rules all you have to do is NOT copy others work! Think about it do you want people to copy your work after you put all of that effort into it if not than that is what copyright is all about!If you are willing to copy other work you are puttting yourelf at risk. Thanks to copyright I know that my work is safe.

You should care about copyright because if you have a piece of art work, paper, or even a letter to your mom, you always want to say it is yours. We all want to say we own something.

It is important to know about it ,so you can appreciate it. You should also know about it so you don't break the rule without knowing. I think it is also important ,so someone else doesn't take your work.If you know thishow to stop them. Lastly ,so you help others prevent copyrighting.

Copyright is a miracle because if you make something that you treasure and love it can not be stolen. So if some copycat wants your work well...too bad theif.

On the web page you learned that there are many rules about copyright. Although you have moist rights ther are some restrictions. You also have to get permission to use other pictures art or logos. It is illegal to use them with out permission. Whatever you do always ask permission.

Copyright helps peoples creations not be copied. Without a copyright people can plagarize your work. Tv shows and movies can be copied without a copyright. You can find out when the thing was made by lokking at the copyright. If we didnt have coprights you would never know who made what.

I think that knowing about copyright is important because, it's something that is very true and is's high law in the U.S. government. It' also something that proves it is your work. If you work on something really hard you wouldn'd want someone to copy that. When you copy someones work you are breaking the law. That's why I think knowing about copyright is important.

A copyright is importnt because you can see who the book was really from. You can see when the book was published. You can like see who's copyed what that person has copyed. The person can pay like be pressed with charges. That person will have to pay charges for copying someones book or something like that. That's why copyright is important. CJ Willis

There is a lot of important reasons why I should care about the copyright page. One reason is because it prevents people from trying to still peoples ideas. Instead of people copying your work. The second reason is because if people do try to still people ideas they could be pressed with charges. The last reason is it helps you become famous.

Copyright is very important bacause it gives you the right to decide what other people can and cannot do with your work. Copyright is like a rule list that everyone has to use and follow. The copyright law is also very important because it prevents other people from stealing and reusing your work for their own purposes. That is why the copyright law is very inportant.

I think that knowing about copyright is very important. First, if you know about the copyright laws, you may be less likely to violate them. Next, I also believe that knowing the copyright laws may help you to defend your work because you will know what you are talking about when you are arguing with someone about your work. Also, when you know about copyright laws, you can't deny that you know about the laws. These, and many other reasons explain why I think copyright is important.

P.S. Remember, copyright is very very very very very important.

Copyrights are important because if the United States didn't have the copyright law random people would copy your work and say that it was there work. Also if it wasn't invented no one would know who wrote a popular song or famous book.Even though you sholud get a copyright on things you can't get a copyright on everything.No one owns copyright,but as soon as you get a copyright you are the full owner of that work.If there are to or more owners they are called co-wners.
