Two Day Learning Target(s):  I can EXAMINE the social implications of DATA MINING by READING and ANNOTATING an article, engaging in a DISCUSSION, and exploring our own uses for such technologies.

Announcements:

• Annotating with CODES (a new kind of TTTT)
• Underline the most important words - not entire sentences
• Put a CODE in the margin to show WHY you underlined those words
• use "?" for things that you don't understand or are questioning
• use "!" for things you think are important or well said
• WRITE NOTES in the margin to explain your !'s and your ?'s
• FROM THESE NOTES you will write a short response detailing:
• What was the most important IDEA in the article? What is the ONE THING that stood out to you the most?
• These are from your "!" annotations
• What is the most important QUESTION you still have FROM or ABOUT the article? 
• These are from your "?" annotations
•  What do you AGREE WITH in the article? What is the ONE THING that MOST spoke to you as TRUE or REASONABLE?RequiredThese are from your comments and notes in the margin
•  These are from your comments and notes in the margin
•  What do you DIS-AGREE WITH in the article? What is the ONE THING that MOST spoke to you as FALSE or UN-REASONABLE?
•  These are from your comments and notes in the margin
