Law professors at Duke University created a comic to explain copyright law. It's available in forms other than this PDF, so if you want a Flash version or one in HTML, you can go to the website and download one. []

//Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress// is a fascinating novel and one that is taught in many places. This resource from the UK will help you teach students how to hone their visual literacy skills by examining film ads and book covers for the novel. http://www.teachit.co.uk/attachments/13915.pdf Here's a PowerPoint file of the images, ready for you to project. You could, of course, adapt this idea to other texts with some Internet searching on your own. Teachit has a lot of material that is for members only, but some of it--like this--is free. I love my Teachit free registration. You might want one, too.
