Violence and Video Games

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Violence and Video Games lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Widespread video gaming makes this content relevant and high interest. Developing youth awareness about the impact of violence in games is important to promote literacy, critical thinking, health, and consumer awareness. After reading and discussion, middle schoolers write persuasive essays or participate in a class debate on the issue. This resource presents a strong structure, but the attached materials are dated; substitute newer research and articles.
