Social Media

Digital Media #7

Worksheet Description

The “Social Media” worksheet is a valuable educational resource that aims to prompt students to think critically about their interactions with social media. It features a series of reflective questions designed to foster self-awareness and media literacy. Students are asked to recall and describe instances when social media content had a significant emotional impact on them, both positive and negative. This encourages them to consider how online interactions influence their emotions and well-being.

Further, the worksheet challenges students to question the reliability of the information encountered on social media by listing reasons to be skeptical about everything they see online. It also delves into the critical analysis of content, asking students to identify techniques used by individuals or entities to attract attention and to differentiate between fact and opinion. Additionally, students are encouraged to contemplate the realism portrayed on social media platforms and discern what is authentic versus fabricated. This tool is instrumental in guiding students to navigate social media responsibly, understand its effects, and develop the ability to engage with digital content discerningly.
