WYSIWYG Lesson

Fakes and Originals: What is Plaigarism? **Introduction:** > Many wonderful authors, artists and musicians work very hard to produce their original work. In today's world it is very easy to copy their work. We can make copies with a photocopier, burn CD's with music stolen off the Internet, and think nothing of adding pictures off the internet without giving credit to the artist or photographer. > In this lesson we are going to study an artist who lived before the advent of photocopiers and CD burners. His name was **Jacopo di Poggibonsi** and he lived in Europe in the Middle Ages. Jacopo was a FAKE. In order to increase his fame and fortune **he copied the works of others.** **Assignment:** > Work with a partner to decide if what Jacopo di Poggibonsi did was legal or illegal. Take notes for a class discussion near the end of the period. If we are not done this will be the homework for Monday evening. **Procedure:** > Begin your research at this web site: > Jacopo di Poggibonsi**REMEMBER: All research should include several resources.**

>> > **In this project you are going to learn how to tell if a web site is reliable or just a waste of time.**
