Activity 2: Peanuts
In a group of 3-5, discuss the following scenario:
You are a mathematics teacher and have found a wonderful Peanuts cartoon that really livens up a page of homework problems. You paste the cartoon on the top of the homework page and make twenty copies to distribute to your students.
- Discuss the copyright implications of this act. Does it fall under
the definition of fair use?
- Would it make a difference (in terms of copyright violation) if you then published the homework page, cartoon and all, on your personal web site? On your school's web site?
