There are many privacy advocate groups, and I have given you a list of some of them at the end of this unit. I chose to focus on EPIC because of the three reports that they published on privacy policies over a three-year period. To teach this segment, explain the purpose of privacy advocate groups to your students and supply them with a list of these groups. To improve their reading skills, you can have them visit the Web sites of two or more of these groups to get more detailed information about their statement of purpose as well as reading the current news on privacy issues from an advocacy point of view. To improve student writing and critical thinking skills, have them write a short report about their opinions on two of the privacy issues that they read about. You can also have the students visit the Web site periodically and give an updated report on the two privacy issues that they originally chose to report on and/or have them report on new issues.
