							| Is it ok to send these ws? 
 |  
							| Hi. I really want to know if it�s ok to send printables that I prepared using the activity books that my stds didn�t buy.
 The school I work only sold the stds book. The activity book is only for the teacher, so I prepare for the UNITS ws using some of the activities from this book.
 Is it ok if I send them?

							| no you can not use books or exercises taken from books, read here the rules of the site.       |  8 Jul 2010

							| Good morning from Spain, Cassy if you read the rules of the website you will find the following extract (which is the one that concerns to you, I think):  If you have a worksheet that you didn �t 
		make yourself (borrowed from a colleague teacher, for example) don �t 
		send it. It might be taken from a website or book, and your account 
		could be banned on account of it.
		
		
		You can use texts from other websites or
 
		books in your worksheets if you add your own exercises or activities 
(For example, reading 
		comprehension questions, etc). Please don �t take texts from other ESL 
		websites or books, it would be unfair.
		
		
		If your worksheet is just a reading 
text, 
		it will only be accepted if the text is written by you.
		
		
		It is acceptable to take a text from 
other 
		sources (not ESL websites or ESL books) and add your own exercises or 
		activities, but you are not allowed to take an exercise from another 
		source and add more exercises of your own. All the exercises must be 
yours.
 So if you have used some activities as a reference to create a complete worksheet adding your own ideas, I do not think you will have any problem once you share your contribution.  Have a nice day, 
 Withina

							| Hi Cassy 
 The rules are clear, I �m afraid. You can �t take any exercises/activities from another source and you can �t use texts from an EFL source, such as the Activity Book you mentioned.
 
 You can only upload the worksheets if they don �t contain anything from the Activity book.
