Copyright and Fair Use
Please respect copyright laws. With short stories, you may make copies of one story and distribute them physically or online (see specifics below). “One-time use” means a teacher may use the materials in one class, for one unit, in one year. You may re-use these materials the following year.
You may
- Make one set of classroom copies of one short story or an excerpt of the novel and re-use that classroom set in your own classroom year to year.
- Post a PDF of one story or an excerpt of the novel online, for one-time use with one class, kept behind a password-protected area of a school server or website.
- Buy one class set of the collection or novel (whether e-version or print) if
- you plan to use multiple stories or a majority of the novel
- and/or multiple classes in the school will use the collection or novel.
To copy a class set of one story or a class set of an excerpt of the novel, for one-time classroom use, please ensure your department or library has a copy of the book. A department can circulate this one copy of a book among teachers, but if you make more than one classroom set of copies, I request that you buy one copy of the book per teacher.
