ONCEPTS
Permission and the Right to Decide
Purpose
To help students understand that as creators, they have the right to decide if and how they will allow their work to be used.
Key concepts
Property comes in many forms: when we buy a book, we
own that book. It’s our property, but we don’t own the
right to reproduce that book and then sell it or give it away.
That’s stealing.
Always ask, d
id we respect the artist’s permission?
Grades:
Appropriate for Grade 2
Time required
: 20 minutes
Preparation
Equipment needed:
Computer/TV screen to play video.
Print visuals (page 4 below) to use in the attention activity.
OPTIONAL: If you have access to an iPad/tablet lab, have students take pictures for a few minutes (or throughout the day) that you can use together. Gather the pictures to your computer, so they can be accessed easily.
Notes to Presenter:
Attention Activity:
“My Bicycle”
We’re going to talk about an interesting, grown up idea for a minute—
PERMISSION.
Let’s pretend I have a bike—
a beautiful bike!
It’s covered with . . .
[INSERT your choice of descriptors (eg flowers, smileys, dragon stickers , long, sparkly tassels, a bell and a lamp. It roars like a lion, etc.]
I like to share my bike with friends. I’m going to tell you what my friends want to do with my bike, and
you tell me if I should give permission for them to use it:
ANTONIO
: May I use your bike. I want to climb up on the roof of my house and ride your bike off the roof and land it in my swimming pool! ASK
:
What should I do? Do I give permission for Antonio to use my bike? [
Yes. No. Maybe. Take discussion. Emphasize the decision
:
“That sounds crazy and dangerous. And it might ruin my bike. I think I’m going to say no.”
Some children will disagree
:
“
If YOU want to share YOUR bike for that, you can, but I want my bike to stay nice.
Emphasize
:
Grade: 2
PERMISSION
2
“When you’re sharing your own bike, you get to decide.”
PORTIA
: May I use your bike? I need to run back to school. I forgot my backpack. ASK: Do I share my bike with Portia?
[Yes. No. Maybe. Take discussion. Note that Portia’s use likely won’t hurt the bike and it’s my
choice if I want to help her out. This is where sharing is nice.]
GRATTO
:
Hey, I thought Antonio’s idea was totally sick! I told Antonio I would get him a bike, so
he could ride off the roof into the pool. So thanks for th
e bike! I’m going to “share” it with
Antonio.
[Show surprise.
“But I said ‘NO’ to Antonio!
Does Gratto have permission to share my bike? No.
Is that nice? No. That’s going to make me hide my bike and not share it with anyone.”]
That was REALLY obvious with the bike, but sometimes
—
especially with pictures and music and other files on the Internet
—it’s not as easy
to see.
TEACHER: We’re going to talk more about this, but I want you to see something first . . .
Lesson
REVIEW (OPTIONAL):
If time permits, you may want to show the Kindergarten and first grade videos and have brief discussions to review those concepts.
Look what the [kindergarteners] are learning about. You already know it!
Kindergarten:
“RESPECT THE PERSON: Give Credit”—
Two friends learn the importance of respecting names on artwork (attribution).
Grade 1:
“It’s Great to Create”—
Two friends discover the fun and benefit of creative collaboration.
DISCUSSION
Once you’ve made something, you get to decide how it will be shared or not shared. Watch this video to
see how one child decides.
PLAY VIDEO
(45 seconds):
“Permission and the Right to Decide”
VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
[Download here: www.iKeepSafe.org/COPYRIGHT.
Student looks through his photograph collection to decide which photographs he wants to give to friends, post online, sell to neighbors, or keep for his family.
What was going on in that video?
[He was deciding what to do with all of his photos.]
What if you wanted to use one of those photos in a PowerPoint® for school?
[We would need to ask for permission or buy them from a place that sells them legally.]
You’re not old enough yet to be selling your pictures online, but pretty soon you will be. And you’ll
appreciate if the rest of us respect your work by not copying it and doing whatever we want with it. ACTIVITY (Optional):
If you have access to an iPad/tablet lab, have students take pictures for a few minutes
or throughout the day
—
whatever fits into your other lesson plans. Collect pictures and show them onscreen to the class. Decide together as a class if each picture would be good to share with parents, or the principal, or other classes. Ask the person who took the picture if he/she is willing to share. Allow students to say yes and no.

NOTE: the concepts of ownership, intellectual property,
and “sharing” of digital files are
covered in the Grade 3 lesson, but may be appropriate to cover with your class, depending on their grasp of this lesson.
Wrap-Up
We are all creators at some level. We hope others will respect our work and follow what we decide to allow with our photos,
art, movies, etc. And we ‘play fair’ with their work too.
We are careful to acknowledge the work of authors and creators and respect their ownership. We recognize that i
t’s
hard work to produce something, and we want to get paid for our work.
