What does “copyright” mean?
Copyright- “the legal right to be the only one to reproduce, publish, or sell the contents and form of a literary, musical, or artistic work” www.wordcentral.com
Still kind of confused?

It means that when you use other
people’s work you must give them credit
and you must not steal other people’s
work and say you did it.

What happens if I use someone else’s work and say it is my own?
It is illegal! There are laws that protect copyrighted material.
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1a.html United States Copyright Office
You could get in big trouble at school! If you use someone else’s work and say it is your
own you could fail or face even more serious consequences!

What can I do to follow copyright laws?
Understand what “fair use” means and apply it to all of your work.
Cite your work to avoid plagiarism.
You can use other people’s work in your own original work, you just have to know how to do it correctly.

Fair Use
“The allowable use or reproduction of material without
specific permission from the owner.”(Ko 400)
![Page 8: Mrs. Feliciano’s Guide to Understanding Copyright and Fair Use 3rd-6th Grade](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8a904/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This means that...
Work can be used for your own private use for school.
If work is in the “public domain” (free to use) it can be used.
Small amounts of work are used.
You do not try to sell someone else’s work. (Ko 229-30)

CitingIf you use someone else’s work you must
cite it, or it is considered plagiarism.
Plagiarism means that you have copied or used someone else’s work and not given
them credit for it.
Notice how I have quotations around some of my words, and different words in
parentheses or websites? That means I got my information from someone else and I am
giving them credit for it by citing.

Let’s test our knowledge!
Alyssa has an assignment to do on Martin Luther King Jr. She waited until the last second
and now she must turn in a 2 page paper tomorrow. She googles “Martin Luther King Jr.”
and comes across a paper from another student. She thinks, just this one time I’ll “borrow” it and put my name on it. Is this
plagiarism?

Yes it is! You can NEVER copy someone else’s workand say it is your own!! It is illegal and has serious consequences!

Let’s try another...
You are creating a PowerPoint book report for English. You use pictures found on the
internet of characters from the book, quotes from the book, and you cite all of your work.
Are you following all copyright laws?
![Page 13: Mrs. Feliciano’s Guide to Understanding Copyright and Fair Use 3rd-6th Grade](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8a904/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Yes!! You can use portions of other people’s
work and pictures from the internet for school
assignments, as long as you cite where your
information came from.
