Read: Carrie Studies
Carrie was sitting at her family’s dining room table studying for a history midterm she had coming up. She promised herself two days ago that she was going to study for a couple hours each night until the exam, which was now the next day. Carrie really needed to do well on the test: At her school, the rule was that students could only compete in sports events if their grades were high enough.
Carrie was supposed to play in tennis regionals at the end of the month, but she needed to boost her history grade by eight points. The last couple of days were not very productive, so Carrie was really feeling the crunch. She tried to focus, but the material was just so boring.
Before long, Carrie found herself scrolling through her newsfeed instead of her World War I study guide. Then, her phone buzzed next to her, and she noticed she had 22 text messages in her group text. This was not going well.
Carrie flipped her phone onto silent, turned it upside down, and decided to see if she could find any interesting history videos about World War I on YouTube. An hour later, Carrie had gotten totally pulled into a series of epic rap battles of history but had made no progress on her studies.
Question of the Day:
- What is your immediate reaction to this situation? What seems realistic or unrealistic?
- Do you ever find yourself distracted when you’re trying to do homework or study? What distracts you the most?
- What advice would you give to Carrie about how to minimize distractions and focus?
- Carrie turns her phone upside down to try to minimize the distraction. Is this a useful strategy? Why might it help (or not help)?
- Where do you think kids should learn about good study habits and managing digital distractions? From parents? From older siblings or friends? At school?

Read: Steffie's Easy Essay
A girl in Deseree’s class, Steffie, had a bunch of older friends who often sent Steffie their old notes and papers.
One day, Deseree overheard Steffie begging one of the girls to email her an essay that was due later the week. “OK,” the girl said, “but you can only use it for inspiration. Don’t copy my actual writing!” “I promise!” Steffie replied.
As soon as the older girl walked away, Steffie turned to Deseree and laughed, saying, “That is officially the easiest essay I’ve ever written. Guess I won’t have to break open the book after all.”
Deseree had no idea whether Steffie was going to literally copy and paste from the essay or somehow disguise her cheating, but she had a real feeling that Steffie wasn’t going to complete the assignment in the way their teacher imagined.
Question of the Day:
- What is your immediate reaction to this situation? What seems realistic or unrealistic?
- What would you do if you were in Deseree’s position? Would you tell anyone? If so, whom?
- Do you think the older girl was wrong to send Steffie her paper? Why, or why not?
- Does whether or not Steffie gets caught make a difference in terms of whether or not she actually did something wrong?
- Are there any ways that technology makes it easier to steal other peoples’ work? Are there any ways that technology makes it more difficult to steal other peoples’ work?
Copying and pasting material into your schoolwork without citing it is plagiarism and can get you in serious trouble. Make sure to CITE any information you’re borrowing from another source. If you’re not sure how to cite properly, ask a teacher or an older student for help. It’s also important to add citations right away as you’re working. Otherwise, you might forget where something came from or accidentally leave out the citation and unintentionally plagiarize.
Did You Know...
Vincent van Gogh, one of the most famous artists of all time, was never famous during his lifetime! In fact, van Gogh only sold a few (maybe even only one or two) of his approximately 900 paintings while he was alive!
What Do You Think
What might artists gain from having their work appropriated by someone else? What might they lose?
Do you Remember...
What you should consider when you use other people’s creative work?
