Complete Unit Plans

*NEW & UPDATED*

This resource teaches the following social issues in a teacher-led series of lessons:

• Ethical AI and Its Impact
• Cyberbullying and Its Prevention
• Ethics and Legality of Pirating Videos

This unit is part of my larger curriculum bundle: Goldie’s FULL CURRICULUM for AP® CSP

This resource contains the following:

• Student guided notes (3 lessons) with a teacher answer key
• Teacher PowerPoint slides to accompany each lesson
• Unit Project – Community Awareness Flyer

All of the resources are 100% editable, so you are able to modify to fit your classroom needs. The zip folder includes all the Word documents and PowerPoint presentations for the resources, which you have permission to edit. The PDF version and answer keys are included for your convenience.

I teach this course without a textbook, so everything that is provided here, can be used without supplementation. The only thing I use in my class that is NOT included in this content is the secured AP® exam questions.
