This lesson is about reusing things you find online. When is that fair, and when is it taking someone else's work?

Today you will

• sort some everyday examples of reuse into groups
• argue a harder case where both sides have a good point
• say in your own words when it is fair to reuse someone's work

Your teacher will sort one card with you on the board, the news quote with the outlet named. You will sort the other four cards yourself in Class Play, after Fair Call.

The three boxes are:

• Fair to reuse, for example fair use. Fair use means using a small part of someone's work for school learning or to comment on it, usually with credit.
• Needs permission or credit. The use is nearly fine, but the maker's name is missing or you still need to ask.
• Plagiarism or infringement. The use is not OK. Plagiarism means handing in someone else's work as your own. Infringement means using the whole work, selling it or posting it publicly without the right to, even if asking first would have helped.

Fair Call has four made-up cases of reuse: a film clip, a song, a classmate's drawing and a photo. You judge each one by asking four questions about it.

1. Read the case. Then set the four rows to match it: how much is taken, what it is for, who sees it, and whether the maker is named.
2. When every row matches the case, make your call: Fair to reuse, Needs permission or credit, or Plagiarism or infringement. Then the stamp shows, with the reason.
3. Then ask What if? Change one row and watch the stamp, then put every row back. Find every change that moves the stamp.

You do case 1 together with your teacher on the board. Then, with a partner, go on to cases 2, 3 and 4.

In each round

1. Read the card and pick a box. You can change your answer until the time is up.
2. Say how sure you are:
   • Just checking if you are guessing
   • Fairly sure if you think you know
   • Certain if you are sure
   The surer you are, the more points you win if you are right and lose if you are wrong.
