Summary of Modifications
For this lesson I changed the food listed to quesadillas (building on the previous lesson, Algorithms as Opinions), I also added a formative assessment to better help students connect to stakeholders in their lives and communities. Students who participate in the previous lesson (Algorithms as Opinions) will be able to carry it forward into a real-world connection by thinking about their out-of-school activity, the relevant stakeholders and their values.
Lesson Description
This lesson further shows students that different algorithms can have different purposes for different stakeholders and that such relationships can be visually represented using an ethical matrix. Students will create their own ethical matrices for their best quesadilla algorithms and then do a formative assessment creating an ethical matrix for one of their out of school activities.
