CSD 9-12 CWA Prompt

Instructions: 

Below you will find an argumentative writing prompt.  Please read the prompt carefully making yourself aware of all the parts you must answer.  You may create your own graphic organizer and/or outline on lined paper.  Once you have organized your paper, you will be expected to answer the prompt with five or more paragraphs, using the articles provided to provide evidence to back up your claims.  As you read the articles, feel free to highlight, underline, and take notes on paper.  You will be given one class period to read the articles and brainstorm your essay, then a second class period to type the essay.  

Prompt: 

It seems that everyone is on social media these days.  Through status updates, locations, pictures, and videos, social media is a way for us to share our lives with the world. However, the content we post often includes people other than ourselves. If you take a picture of someone and put it on your social media account, have you invaded their privacy? What expectation of privacy do you have when you are in someone else’s pictures?  

Read the following sources carefully.  Then, in an essay that synthesizes at least three of the sources, develop a position about social media privacy.
