This Online Safety: Grades 6-8 lesson plan also includes:
Recognize risky behaviors and avoid them! That's the big idea behind two activities designed to teach middle schoolers to think critically about online safety. After reading background articles about protecting online identity, cyberbullying, and repetitive stress injuries, pupils craft a persuasive argument to convince a friend not to meet in person someone they met on the internet. Individuals then complete a matching activity that asks them to match risky behaviors with possible consequences.
