What is copyright and fair use? Because this is an English classroom, these are two very important topics that will take a part in many of the research assignments that we do in class. Before you get started on this interactive reasearch assignment, quickly write down what you already know or think you know about either of these topics. Then, when you have finished writing down your ideas (what you know), make a second list of what you would like to learn.
The purpose of this assignmet is to have each of you think critically about what you already know, what you want to know more about, and what you have learned once you have researched the topics. Take a good twenty to thirty minutes to peruse through the websites listed below. Read the definitions of Fair Use and Copyright carefully, and keep an eye out for any numbered lists or rules.
We will be discussing this in class and everyone needs to be informed. Keep these questions in mind as your skim.
