Write a Summary
Summaries help you process your thinking about a text and are often a great way to start off an argumentative or informational essay. A good summary shows you have knowledge about a topic.
Practicing summarizing also helps you prepare for the main idea questions posed on many standardized assessments. In addition, summarizing is a helpful skill for working with others, such as when you need to confirm your understanding of what someone else has said. That's a useful skill for all parts of life.
Your summary should:

Research: Controversy in Technology
Background
Think about how you use technology. What is the one piece of technology that you think you could not live without? Why is that technology so important to you? Research that piece of technology.
Research
First, write questions to explore in your research. You might want to know who invented your technology and what problem it was meant to solve. You might also wish to know if your technology grew out of other technologies.
For instance, if the cell phone is your technology, what is the link between the original phone invented by Alexander Graham Bell and the one in your pocket? Remember to research what people think will happen next with the technology. As you research, look for not only the positive impact this technology has, but also any downsides or negative impact it may have.
Present and Discuss
Then, take your research and use it to create a presentation. Introduce why this technology is important to you. Explain how this technology came to be and where it might go in the future.
Argue about how it has changed your life in useful ways, while fairly describing the positives and negatives of that piece of technology. Remember that a good research project includes additional questions you might like research in the future.

Sharing Additional Research Findings, Learnings, and Experiences
Roundtable discussions offer you the opportunity to share what you’ve learned, as well as to ask questions and learn from others. Come to the discussion prepared to share your key findings. Use the organizer on the next page.
How the discussion works:
Remember, it’s important to value dialogue and appreciate different perspectives. Learning from and understanding people who think differently or have different experiences is part of the process of growth! You don’t have to agree to learn from another perspective!
