It is better if you can find the same picture in the free available on internet, or an equivalent always free.
Or if it is only 1 picture and specifying where it is from. But if the pictures are absolutely copyrights so it would be difficult for you not to be reported.
I am sure you would find equivalent pictures on interned. Or if they are simple you can draw them.
Be careful not to take watermarked (particularly iclipart) to illustrate your lesson.
Hope you can upload your wss soon. |

I beg to differ. Since when it �s "if"? It �s a "NO" full stop. It is clearly stated in the rules of this website: Please, don �t use pictures taken from other ESL websites or books, even if you add your own exercises. So no, you �re not allowed to use pictures from esl books. And no you can�t upload exercises copied from books. Your contributions must be your own creations. Sophia

To make it absolutely clear:
- you may use an article from non-esl source (+ state the source - website / book / newspaper)
- you must ALWAYS make your own exercises (NO copied exercises)
- you can use non-copyrighted pictures with no watermarks
- if your worksheet contains copyrighed pics, you must change the pics for non-copyrighted (cliparts, photos). Pictures are not the most important part of the worksheet, the exercises and follow-up activities (written by you) are the most important thing...
- you can �t use material from els sources (esl websites / books), because it wouldn �t be fair
See the rules: http://www.eslprintables.com/rulesofthewebsite.htm
"Your contributions must be your own
creations. You can use free images from cliparts or other free sources.
You can also use images that you have subscribed to and paid for."
"Please, don�t use pictures taken from
other ESL websites or books, even if you add your own exercises."
"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."
