English 10--9/25/2019 & 9/26/2019

Jump Off (5-8 mins.)
--Please set up your binder tabs using the list on the front board.  (This list also exists as a blog post.)
--Please pick up a copy of each of the following from the table:

• Stephanie Simon's article titled "Cyber Snoops Track Students' Activity"
• the "A Paragraph's a Paragraph's a Paragraph! (CER)" sheet

Then, seat yourselves alphabetically using the strips of paper taped to the first desk in each column.  Finally, read the prompt below, taking note of any questions that I can answer in order to help you get started.

The Prompt

• After both purposefully reading the article titled "Cyber Snoops Track Students' Activity" and organizing your thoughts, write an evidence-based claim paragraph in response to the following question: Is collecting information online from students a violation of privacy or a positive safety measure?  This paragraph does not require counterargument.  Good luck! :)
