What educators are saying

Some interesting data on social media! Was nice to get some facts about usage rates so it wasn't just an 'In my experience...' he said/she said situation.
My students had a lot to say (re:argue) about this topic, which brought a great energy to the activity. The article and questions work very well for high school or teens in general.

Description

Social Media, in your class?!?!

These days, it's hard to argue that social media has not revolutionized the way we connect, communicate, and share information. Its benefits are abundant, but so are its downsides! While it fosters activism, giving voice to the voiceless, it also fosters new types of bullying, amplifying hurtful voices beyond the boundaries of the school day. So what are we to do?

The Science Of Social Media highlights the impact of social media on mental health, particularly among adolescents, and the need for schools to educate students and parents about its potential pitfalls. In this activity, students will read the article and answer before/during/after questions that get them to examine how social media affects their generation and themselves. In the end, they are given a mini research project as a way to make up their own minds on the topic.

THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES:

  • An Overview of Social Media
  • A Link to and Summary of the article
  • Before Reading Questions
  • During Reading Questions
  • After Reading Questions Sheet #1 (Wholistic analysis of the article - summary, theme, proof, etc.)
  • After Reading Question Sheet #2 (Outside Research analysis of the article and paragraph reflection questions)

All the best with your teaching!
