Day 2-3:

 Welcome back student teachers! Last time we met, you learned what copyright is. Well, today you are going to learn more about copyright and you'll find out why you should care about it.  Today, you will begin reading a story about copyright. The story is broken up into parts.  As you go through each part, you will be asked to answer questions on your story question sheet. You will stop at the sixth page of the story.  The links are included on your worksheet and all you have to do is click continue to get to the next page in the story. You do not have to click on your back button to get back to this webquest.
