Welcome to our English class, Year/Grade 7 students! Today, we will dive into a topic that is very relevant to your age group - social media.
Before we get started, let's try something fun and interactive. Please take out your mobile phones and open your favorite social media app. Spend 2 minutes scrolling through your feed silently.
Now that you've had a quick glimpse of social media, let's have a group discussion. How did you feel while scrolling through your feed? Did you see anything interesting or concerning?
As you all know, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. We use it to connect with friends and family, share our experiences, and keep ourselves updated with current events. However, social media can also have negative effects on mental health, especially if consumed excessively.
Today, we will focus on how we can use social media effectively and responsibly. We will look at ways to make sure that social media does not negatively impact our mental and emotional wellbeing.
I hope that this lesson helps you navigate social media in a more conscious and positive manner. Let's get started!
