 * The Teacher Background information sheet is very useful and full of definitions of the terms covered in this lesson. It is also linked from the lesson plan above.
 * The Respecting Creative Work video is available online at the Common Sense Media website (you'll need to create a free account) or you can get a DVD from Paula. Since it's mentioned in the vocabulary list, the Creative Commons website is interesting to explore, or you can look at license type descriptions at  flickr's Creative Commons webpage.
 * Teach 1 and Teach 2 can be covered in one class period. After these sections, the following discussion would be worthwhile: Discuss with students what considering copyright will mean for projects they create, using the following questions to help guide the conversation:
 * Will you be able to use any images from books or the Web?
 * Will you be able to use your favorite music as background?
 * Will you need to create every image and sound in your presentations yourself?
 * Will you be able to quote a favorite author or lyrics from a favorite song?
