Is Privacy an illusion? Do you think that your privacy is at risk in today’s society? Give at least 2 reasons (Topic Sentence) to support your answer and include an example for each (Concrete Detail) and then explain how your example supports your CD (Commentary). You must pick one side (either you think your privacy IS at risk or IS Not at risk).

Example: Yes, I think our privacy is at risk because technology allows people to retrieve your personal information without your knowledge. For example, a company I frequently purchase items from online was recently hacked and a few days later I received a letter from the company and then from my bank explaining that the hackers retrieved customer’s credit card information and that they were giving me a new credit card, number, and account privacy settings. This shows that, due to technology, which we often contribute to making our life easier, actually allowed someone to invade my privacy and attain personal information without my knowledge and, if the company hadn’t realized it so quickly could have ruined my credit and finances- who knows what else they could have done!

Make a list of items/products that you think schools should have available to help students learn. They can be things that might not exist yet, but you think should be made.

Explain what the item is and how it would be beneficial to students.

Example: Schools should provide students with hand held computers that allow them to complete their work and immediately upload their assignments to a file for teachers to access. This would allow students to be able to complete work faster, access notes quickly, stay organized, and provide students with the technology needed to take down notes exactly as the teacher provides them through pictures or recordings of lectures.
