Socratic Seminar Research and Preparation

You will be beginning your preparation for the Socratic Seminar on the day of the final. For this one, you will be responsible for doing a little bit of the research on your own. I have provided many links below that may help you in this process, or you may go looking on your own (but make sure you're using credible sources and citing them by writing down the title, website, and year of the article).

Both articles that you have already looked at are in this list, as well as some others that may be helpful. Take time do some thorough digging. You might find something really interesting!

Research Questions:

1. Should parents monitor their teenage son or daughter's online activity?
2. To what extent should people have a right to privacy?
3. Is it appropriate for parents to use spyware to monitor their children?
