Half of Americans use social media as their main source of news. However, it can be difficult to tell the difference between real news and fake news or misinformation. Should schools be responsible for what students do on social media? And does it have a positive or negative impact on students’ learning?
This lesson plan is from The Economist Educational. The PowerPoint is from PSHE Village to support the lesson plan.
Use this one-hour lesson to help your students:
Discuss whether social media should be taught in schools
Use information from the news as evidence in debates
Explain different opinions about schools and social media
