Let's get creative--Together! Thing 8

When I was in high school, I had a teacher that gave a project at the beginning of my senior year. She told me that ths would be the only grade I would get all year. I was kinda nervous about this project because I had never ever been given this type of liberty before, so I decided that I would go for it. She gave the One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez to read and I was to make a play out of it. I thought to myself, what the heck did I get myself into. First of all it was my senior year, I was supposed to be lazy, secondly I didn't like to read, third I had to read the book in Spanish and write it the play in Spanish. The next thing that I thought was whatever she was on I wanted some because it would make this project a whole lot easier and I was hoping she was still on it when she read my project. To make a long and great (tooting my own horn here-beep beep) story short I finished the project and received an A for my play. After reading my project she gave a packet on copyrighting and added I needed to do this for this play. I didn't really understand what copyrighting is and it was my senior year. Through out the years, I have come across many things that have the "Big C" on it and new what it meant, can't use this! I've not come across any thing with the cc on it, but now know what to do with it when I do see it.
