jessupsenglish@gmail.com

Explore these sites for information on privacy, censorship, and the banning of books as related to the novels you will be reading. These sites will not cover everything and may be outdated, so it is important to use them to guide your thinking rather than to rely on them entirely. You may have to write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

Step I:  Answer the following questions based on your opinion. Use examples and be specific.

     1.     Who has privacy? From whom are they keeping things private?

     2.     Where and when is privacy an issue?

     3.     How do privacy issues affect you? How could a person's privacy be compromised?

Step II:  Brainstorm at least 4 ways that people are being censored today. Use the below sites to guide your thinking.

Step IV:  Create a Prezi with your partner that clearly demonstrates the effects of censorship in 2014 -
