🎨 My Own Work: Do Not Copy
Objective: To understand that your school work should be your own.
- Understand what "your own work" means.
- Understand that copying a friend or a book is not good.
- Practice choosing to do your own work.
A Story: Your Work Should Be Yours!
Let's look at two students, Maria and Leo. The teacher says, "Draw a picture!"
1. Maria draws her own picture. It is a house with a blue sun. This is great! It is her own work.
2. Leo looks at Maria's paper. He copies her picture. He draws the same house and blue sun.
This is copying. This is not okay.
3. Then, Leo thinks of his own idea. He draws a tree with a red bird.
This is his own work. This is good!
Tip: Your ideas are good! Teachers want to see *your* work, not a copy of someone else's.
