Kavi Says Where It Came From

Kavi made a project about owls and found a beautiful photo of a snowy owl on a nature website. Kavi pasted it in — and a friend asked, "Wow, did you take that?" Kavi stopped. No — a photographer named Mia had taken it. "Then you should say so," said the friend. "When you borrow someone's words or pictures, you write who made it and where you got it. That's called giving them credit." So Kavi added a little line right under the photo: Photo by Mia, from Owl Nature Site. "Now everyone knows it's Mia's work, not mine," Kavi said. "That's honest — and anyone who wants the picture can find it too!"

1A credit names the maker and the placeWhen you use words or a picture that someone else made, you add a short note called a credit. It tells where the work really came from. Tap each part to hear its job.

2Different borrowings, same idea: say where it came from

3Copy with no credit, or use with credit?You can paste someone's picture or words and say nothing — which makes it look like yours. Or you can add a credit that names the maker. One way is unfair; the other is honest.
