  • What is the topic you are reading about?  Sexting
  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. DO NOT COPY THE URL!  "Sexting." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 5 Oct. 2015.
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  Teenage and child sexting nude pictures can lead to bullying, blackmail, and child pornography related criminal charges.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  Sexually explicit or pornographic material involving underage people is illegal in much of the world.  Teens have been hurt due to sexual blackmail.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.  Who specifically has been hurt by sexual blackmail?  Can parents be charged if their child is sending or receiving sexts.
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand.  Augment
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?)  Unrecognizable term.
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down.  Make something greater by adding to it
  • Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion.  What's your opinion of sexting?
