Thursday and Friday, February 9th & 10th

Dear Class:

Students: Please sign into you CIS account and do the following:

First, in the lower left corner of the main screen under “Career Assessments”, I want you do do the “Skills Assessments” (which may have done have done last time), “Interest Profiler”, and “Work Importance Locator”.

Please go into your “Student Portfolio” and make sure you do the “Education and Training” and the “Achievements, Activities and Skills”. Do as good a job as you can.

Finally, while you are in the Student Portfolio, click the “My Learning Express” that is at the bottom left hand. This will bring you to the “Welcome” menu. Click on the “High School” icon. Go to the “Reading Comprehensive Skills Improvement” and then “Reading Skill Diagnostic Tests”. Take the “Reading Skills Diagnostic 1: Informational Text”. When you complete it, you should have a score out of 30. Take a screen shot by pressing “F14”. Save it as “Name_Reading Test”, upload it to your google account and then put the score document in your shared collection folder so I can take a look at it

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Reading Work Sample #1
Fair Use or Not

Dear Class:

Today we will continue to examine the wide world of "Copyright" and "Netiquette". Please go to the Copyright Powerpoint

You will be completing on the following worksheet. After you finish the worksheet (the slide numbers are not correct so you will have to find the answers on your own!), you will look at slide 40 and analyze the four cases that are provided regarding copyright infringement. You will need to make your own copy of the worksheet and share it with me on your google docs.

We will go over the google doc part of this class. For those students unable to get into your account, you will fill it in and print it and hand it in on my desk.

CIS

For the analysis of the cases, slide 40 has 4 court cases in reference to Fair Use. Each case name is linked to a google presentation. I want you to create a grid on the back of your worksheet (if you had to print it out) or on a google doc create a grid and analyze whether the Purpose, Nature, Amount and Effect fall under Fair Use, and whether you think the court ruled copyright infringement or not.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Not everyone gets to go through this kind of a scenario and receive real-world advice. The information is invaluable.
