Week 9 - Tute Task

Hi,

This weeks Tute Task was to talk about our chosen essay topic, and how we might approach it.

Initially when I looked at the essay questions, it was so daunting! The questions looked so difficult, especially since before this course I wasn't familiar with most of the topics. I read over the topics a few times and started to get my head around each of them before I made my decision.

The essay topic I'm choosing to do is:

2. Explain what creative commons is and, using examples, show how it is different to other forms of copyright.

I chose this topic because the idea of a copyright has been around for a long time, so there will be a lot of information on it. When we learnt about creative commons the other week, I had no idea how strict copyright was and now I want to learn more about it.

Before I did this course I hadn't heard of creative commons so I thought it would be a good topic to explore.

I think I'm going to set out the essay with an introduction, four paragraphs and a conclusion. The first body paragraph will explain what creative commons is and what copyright is, this will be followed by three more paragraphs which will explain the difference between the two. I have a tendency to write A LOT in essays so hopefully I'll be able to reign it in and not get sidetracked.

That's pretty much everything I've been thinking about for this weeks Tute Task.

Thanks,

Emily
