  1. “Long Beach Police to use 400 cameras citywide to fight crime” L.A. Times: Aug. 15th, 2012

  2. PREREADING: ACTIVITY 37 • READ: • THE TITLE • THE SUMMARY • THE DATE • THE AUTHOR • THE PLACE OF PUBLICATION • THE FIRST SENTENCE

  3. PREREADING CON’T • What is the article about? • How does this connect with 1984? • Do you think this article might actually refer to 1984? • Would you say that this development might be called “Orwellian”?

  4. Activity 38: Annotating & Questioning the text • What facts are reported in this text that might be useful in supporting an argument about surveillance cameras? • Do you agree with the police Chief when he says that this is “not a case of Big Brother watching” because the link to the cameras will only be activated when police already know an incident is happening in a certain area? How is this different from Big Brother? How will the police know that something is happening? Won’t they review the tape and see everything that happened anyway?

  5. Activity 40: Summarizing & Responding • Write a one-paragraph summary of the content of this article.
