Lesson Introduction: Exploring the Social Media Word Bank

Objective

Welcome, everyone! Today, we’ll delve into the world of social media vocabulary. Understanding these terms not only helps us communicate better online but also empowers us to navigate the digital landscape responsibly. Let's expand our word bank together and see how these terms connect to our lives!

Warm-Up Activity: "Social Media Bingo"

To kick off our lesson, we're going to play a quick game of Social Media Bingo! Each of you will receive a bingo card filled with terms related to social media. As I read out definitions, try to match them to the words on your card. The first person to shout "Bingo!" and correctly explain their winning terms will earn a small prize!

Definitions to Use:

  1. Follower: Someone who subscribes to a person's updates on social media.
  2. Like: An option to show approval of a post or comment.
  3. Post: To share content, such as a photo or update, on a social media platform.
  4. Hashtag: A word or phrase preceded by a "#" symbol, used to categorize content.
  5. DM (Direct Message): A private message sent to another user on a social platform.
  6. Viral: When content spreads rapidly across the internet.
  7. Influencer: A person who has the power to affect purchasing decisions or trends.
  8. Feed: A continuous flow of posts and updates seen on a social media platform.
  9. Tag: To identify or mention another user in a post or comment.
  10. Privacy Settings: Controls that allow users to manage who can see their content.

Instructions

  1. As I read each definition aloud, mark the corresponding term on your bingo card if you have it.
  2. Once you have completed a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally), shout "Bingo!"
  3. Be prepared to explain your terms to the class!

Conclusion

This activity not only warms up our brains but also highlights the significance of understanding social media language. After the game, we’ll discuss why knowing these terms is essential for personal development in our digitally connected world.

Let’s begin our journey into the fascinating world of social media!
