Since this week's reading is not very long, I did small research on copyright laws in Japan. There are, if not as many as in the U.S., a number of rules in my country, too. Discussions related to fair use of copyright materials for educational purpose exist online. I found a very helpful organization which runs a good website for people including teachers who are anxious about copyright rules. The name of the organization is Copyright Research and Information Center (CRIC). I found that this website had an English version as well. So if you are interested, you can go to http://www.cric.or.jp/cric_e/index.html. IF you click "3. Case studies 'Formal Education and Copyright' " in the left column, you will see basic or frequent questions from teachers and answers to them.
Also, this website has a good small workshop page for kids to understand Copyright. If teachers try some creative student project, it is possible to start with having students working on the workshop so that they can obtain the basic knowledge of violation of copyright (No English version).
