December Week One

This week's topic was privacy and how our privacy is compromised in the digital world. You can start by reviewing and testing your knowledge about some vocabulary and expressions.

LISTENING
To practice your listening skills, learners could try one of several podcasts about Guarding Your Privacy and Maintinging Internet Privacy.

For original version consider the video Why Care About Internet Privacy? or the TED Radio Hour episode about The End of Privacy.

READING
Learners can try a reading comprehension activity about Eavesdropping Laws in Sweden or a mini lesson about Edward Snowden. Another possibility is about security and privacy after photo hack.

For original version reading, I recommend checking out an infographic about privacy and social media or reading the New Yorker Article The Prism.

WRITING
So, what about you? What are your biggest privacy concerns and how do you face them? What do you think our society should do to mitigate this growing problem?

Don't forget, next week is our December Extra Activity which will be our annual Yankee Swap on Thursday December 11th at 20:30 at La Retro.

Have a good week!
Best,
Kelly
