you have to make an 8-10 slide presentation. I will provide all the intructions below, and readings.

For this first major assignment you are asked to work collaboratively with your peers (OR ON YOUR OWN)  to read, analyze, and synthesize sources on our case study topic: surveillance and privacy. We will be discussing the topic via our discussion boards in advance, but the collaborative presentation will give you a chance to go into more depth and will give you practice in developing an inquiry topic, conducting research, and analyzing sources.

If you want to work in a group, email me and (if I have others who want to collaborate) I will connect you. If you want to work with particular people (and they want to work with you too!) email me and copy those individuals on the email so I know you want to work as a group.

Please note that you DO NOT have to do this assignment as a group assignment!

INSTRUCTIONS:

We will all read and discuss the six essays on surveillance provided in the Module, which will give you multiple perspectives on the topic.

In addition, you/your assigned group will view at least one of the videos I’ve posted to Canvas on the topic of surveillance and privacy  ( video are below) and read one additional source (which should be a peer-reviewed journal article)   on the topic.

You/your group should imagine that you are being assigned to write a capstone-type project on this topic (remember, you will be choosing your own unique topics for the capstone project). Based on your readings and small group discussion, the group should come up with a hypothetical inquiry question on the topic (see The Craft of Research Ch. 3 and 4) and then choose a minimum of three sources to examine in depth. Provide an overview of each source you choose, which should include:

a brief summary of the source’s main arguments;

the disciplinary perspective(s) the source come from;

an examination of the validity of the source and any potential biases;

• a brief QUESTION of how you could use the source in your hypothetical project. Would the source help support your argument? How so? Or would you argue against the points made in the source? Why? 
• One of the major goals of this assignment is to give you the opportunity to explore different presentation styles so as to help you assess which methods would work best for your own research presentation later in the semester. Your group can choose to use PowerPoint or Prezi, but there are other options out there. While all presentations should have text, you can also choose to incorporate visuals.
• Regardless of which program you choose, you should all have:
• a title slide with a potential title for your project (and your group members’ names if appropriate);

a slide with your inquiry question;

slides with overviews of 3 sources – it should be clear which slide pertains to which source;

a conclusion slide in which you reflect on what you learned about developing inquiry questions and working with sources.
