My Copyright Action Plan

I can't make more than one copy of a short story, regardless of whether or not it comes from a collection unless it is under 2,500 words. If it is more than that, I am allowed to copy part of a work of prose that can equal up to a maximum of 1,000 words or 10% of the work. I must have at least 500 words of the work included in my copies.
I can make editorial or simplifying changes to a printed copy of a work that the school or I have purchased as long as the overall legitimacy of the work is not tainted.

I can't make more than a single recorded copy of a performance of a work by a student.
I can make copies of a poem if it is less than 250 words and/or if it doesn't take up two pages of paper when it's printed. If the poem is larger than 250 words, I'm only allowed to copy a maximum of 250 words to use as an excerpt.

I can't make copies to substitute for the use of books.
I can make a single copy of the chapter of a book to use in preparation for teaching



I plan on following the copyright rules as closely as possible. There are a lot of things to read up on and understand, but I plan on doing my best to make sure that I respect all of the laws of copyright in my classroom.
