Overview:

Kids can be voracious consumers -- and creators -- of media, and it's easier than ever for them to find and share digital content online. But do middle-schoolers know about concepts like fair use, copyright, and public domain? Give students a framework they can use to better understand how fair use works in the real world.

Students will be able to:
  • define the terms "copyright," "public domain," and "fair use".
  • identify the purpose of the Four Factors of Fair Use.
  • apply fair use to real-world examples, making a case for or against.
