Quick comprehension check
“Describe what "fair use" means in your own words. Give an example of a time when a student might be able to use a picture they found online for a school project under fair use. Explain why you think it would be fair use. Imagine you want to use a short clip from a popular movie in a presentation for your class. Explain whether or not this might be considered fair use, and why.”
