Big Huge Labs Movie Poster

Poster
Alright so check this out. I've made a movie poster for the Shel Silverstien book The Giving Tree. This activity is something fun that a students can do individually or in a group after reading a book as a class or alone. I think it's pretty neat. An activity such as this one can provide students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the most important events and characters in a book. I think it's neat.

So this Creative Commons thing is just like a copyright law but without the lengthy legal process involved...? Alright I can dig that. The symbols seemed a bit confusing at first but the key on the side of the page certainly helps out.
Attribution This guy says its alright to use other people's images as long as you give them credit.
Noncommercial This one says the same as above but you can't use 'em for commercial images.
No Derivative Works So this means you can borrow and use the image but you can't change it, ever.
Share Alike Alright this one talks about licenses and things so now I'm slightly confused. So people can use your work as long as they utilize a license similar to yours.
Now the combinations of these symbols is a bit over my head.
