Copyright & Wrong (Common Sense Media Grade 9-12 Lesson - Adapted)
Essential Question
How can I make responsible choices when I use other people’s creative work?
Lesson Overview
Students explore the legal and ethical dimensions of respecting creative work. First, they learn a basic foundation of legal principles and vocabulary related to copyright. They understand how such factors as the rules of copyright law, the values and intent of the original creator, and the audience and purpose should affect their decisions about using the creative work of others. Using the Mad Men Student Handout, students then apply these principles to a simulation activity in which they act as advertising executives who have to choose a photo for an ad campaign
