Activity:
Your parents think you spend too much time on the internet. They do not see the internet as a valuable tool. They say you can find the information you are looking for just as well in a book. They also fear for your safety as they have read about the statistics of online predators. You must write a short letter to your parents convicing them you understand the rules and safety procautions of handling the responsiblity of being on the internet. Do not use MLA format to head your paper.
When you are finished writing your letter, make sure you have included:
- at least 5 examples of things you learned from these two articles or from our discussion in class
- Spell check and grammar check your letter
- proper Friendly Letter format (click the link to see an example if you forgot)
When you are finished, save your work, print it out, and turn it into the basket.
