"Here Come De Judge": Using Narrative and Creative Expression to Teach Copyright Law

“Here Come De Judge" old "Laugh-in" sketch
Boomer humor time travel stretch
Legalese languid induces sleep
Rhymes repetition your attention keep
Readers theater tragi-comic tale
Creative brains amuse and regale!”
Do you abhor legalese, yearn for lyrical language, and seek ways to captivate your students? This workshop engages participants in creative storytelling activities that teach basic copyright law and ethics (adaptable to any audience, from pre-teens to adults). We’ll use parody, puppetry, rhyme, and reader’s theater to tell stories and convey principles of copyright law. Come prepared to chew the scenery and play a part.
