Online Safety Article

Posted in Uncategorized by kfinklestein on the November 5, 2008

Go to this blog and read the article. Then answer the following questions:

  1. What does the author say is probably NOT your biggest threat online? Use details and examples to explain why she thinks that.
  2. What things does the author think ARE important threats to your online safety? Use details and examples to explain why she thinks that.

When writing your answers, keep the following in mind:

  • Do NOT restate the question in your answer
  • The first question requires a shorter answer. Jump right into the answer and then find 2 – 3 things in the article to support your answer. Your answer should be 3 – 5 sentences long.
  • The second question requires a longer answer – think of it like a mini-essay. You can have a topic sentence which you then support with details from the article. Your answer should be 7 – 9 sentences long.
  • A good way to start might be ‘According to the author…….’ and then support your answer with details and examples from the article.
