This video introduces students to the fundamental principles of copyright law, including what copyright protects, how long protection lasts, and who owns creative work. Throughout the video, viewers are encouraged to consider real-world examples of writing, performing, designing, or creating, and the rights creators have under the law. The video also includes a quiz section that reinforces learning by asking students to apply what they've just learned. This makes it a strong resource for incorporating into lessons on media literacy, digital citizenship, or any unit where students will be creating or using creative content. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.

In the Classroom
Have students create a visual timeline using Time Graphics Timeline Maker reviewed here or MyLens reviewed here of events leading up to Earhart's final flight, incorporating both historical facts and theories introduced in the video. Using Google Earth reviewed here or printed world maps, have students trace Earhart's intended flight path and mark significant locations. Discuss what navigational tools were used in her time vs. today. Challenge students to create a modern-day rescue or search plan using today's technology. They must explain their tools (e.g., satellite imaging, sonar, drones) and how they would search for clues to Amelia's disappearance.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Turn the article into a scavenger hunt. Ask students to find key facts such as Earhart's birth year, major accomplishments, and the year she disappeared. After reading the article, have students brainstorm adjectives and nouns that describe Amelia's personality and achievements, then create a word cloud using tools like Wordsift reviewed here. Ask students to write a short newspaper article as if they were reporting on one of Amelia's famous flights or her disappearance, incorporating facts from the text. Assign students to create a mini-poster highlighting Amelia's timeline, famous flights, and impact on women in history using visuals and facts from the article.
