The Copyright & Creativity middle school lessons provide accessible and practical information about copyright – its protections, its limitations, and its role in encouraging creativity. Rather than emphasizing what copyright prohibits, the goal is to offer useful and positive information about what copyright allows and how students can successfully navigate and rely on copyright in their own roles as creators.  Topics include:
•  The basics of what copyright protects and why
•  How copyright applies to students’ own creations
•  How to access and share creative work legally and ethically
•  How students can re-use others’ creative works in their own creations--fair use, Creative Commons, and the public domain
