The Scenarios
1. Ms. Alvarez
She plays a 45-second clip of a news broadcast in class so students can analyze tone, not to replace watching the program.
​
2. Mr. Bennett
He posts a full set of worksheets from a copyrighted workbook to Google Classroom so the entire grade can use them.
​
3. Mrs. Collins
She uploads a single poem behind a password-protected LMS so students can annotate it before class.
​
4. Mr. Diaz
He uses a meme in a lesson on satire, breaking down its rhetorical choices and purpose.
​
5. Ms. Edwards
She photocopies one chart from a large social-studies textbook so students can practice interpreting data.
​
6. Mr. Flores
He downloads a TikTok, removes the watermark, and reposts it on his public class Instagram.
​
7. Mrs. Grant
She shows a 2-minute documentary excerpt to introduce a science topic, choosing only the portion needed.
​
8. Mr. Harris
He adds a single paragraph from a novel to a digital slide to illustrate irony during mini-lessons.
​
9. Ms. Irving
She scans two pages of a paid textbook and uploads them to her LMS for one day so absent students can reference them.
​
10. Mr. Johnson
He shares an entire out-of-print chapter with multiple teachers because the library doesn’t own enough copies.
​
11. Ms. King
She uses a photograph in her art class slideshow and asks students to critique composition techniques.
12. Mr. Lopez
He livestreams a movie to students during a snow day so they can “watch it together.”

14. Mr. Nguyen
He posts an entire YA novel PDF to his website for students to download from home.
15. Ms. Ortiz
She includes a screenshot from a news site in her bias-analysis lesson, shown only in class, without posting it publicly.

He uploads a short publisher-owned infographic on his password protected classroom website.
