Description
This is a FULL unit based on non-fiction texts concerning the growth of social media and it's impact on the world, people, mental health, etc. The entire unit is editable so you can adjust as needed for your classroom and pacing. This lasts approximately 3 weeks depending on how long you give students for the essay. Everything you need is included!
Students will be completely engaged as they watch The Social Dilemma, breaking down how Social Media platforms are manipulating them every day. Some students will claim "it's biased and anti-social media!" others will agree with the documentary once the facts are laid out in front of them. As you move through the unit, students track their social media use (texting and youtube count as social media), analyze the reliability of sources, research via a Webqwest, and many other activities that ultimately culminate in a Socratic Seminar and Argumentative essay. One thing is for sure, students WILL leave your classroom debating and arguing the value of Social Media!
This INCLUDES:
- A full 12 day calendar (this unit lasts around 3 weeks, the extra days are however long you want to give students to write the essay at the end.)
- Each day comes with an included objective and the relevant common core standards.
