Critical Thinking: Family Vloggers- To Post or Not to Post?
Should parents be allowed to make money off of their children via ‘family Vlogs?’
This activity-packed critical thinking resource focuses on the question of whether it is ethical to partake in family vlogging. This comprehensive PPT and worksheet asks students to view clips from some of YouTube’s most famous families. Students are able to then analyse the topic individually, in pairs and as a group so that they can collect information for a final debate session.
The resource contains:
An introduction to the family Vlogging phenomenon.
A viewing task with embedded clips and initial questions
A group activity where students research a selected vlogger.
An individual reflection task about regulating the exploitation younger children for monetization.
An extension question (based on a Merit Street episode) that students can complete in class or as homework.
A final debate task that uses all of the information in class and the personal opinions of students to create a well-substantiated argument.

The Help study guide (Pre-viewing/reading activities)
This engaging resource can be used either with the film or the novel by Kathryn Stockett.
The questions are focused on helping illicit ideas and prepare students for the actual watching/reading portion of their study. Like most of my other resources there is material for discussion and debate or even just individual critical thinking.
The resource addresses: slavery,Jim Crow,segregation,civil rights, women’s rights and the wealth gap.
There are also some key dates that teachers can build knowledge on as background information and context.
Students can explore the time period of the 60s and the pros and cons of living in that time period. Teachers can also use the tasks to discuss Jim Crow and the impact the laws had on community as a whole.
