=Scenario 7: Johnson Middle School Video Yearbook= []

Back to Scenarios

The PTO at Johnson Middle School is creating a "video yearbook" for students and families that document the school year. One parent wants to add a few news clips from network television and excerpts from popular songs and movies of the year along with the original video of school activities and events. "We want our children to remember not just what happened in school this year, but what happened in society," she opines. The PTO will sell the videos for just enough to cover the cost of production and fund a class field trip. Your level of comfort with this use of copyrighted materials: High 5 4 3 2 1 Low
