Poster Prompt for Teenagers About Digital Responsibility

This poster is so capturing! It’s not just the message, but its clever illustration as well, which generate ideas for the teenager ESL/EFL  classroom.

So here are a few suggestions on how to use it. Students can

  • EXPLAIN what the poster is about
  • DESCRIBE any personal experiences, their thoughts and practice when it comes to social networks
  • CREATE/COMPLETE  a list of action verbs related to social networks
  • WRITE questions to survey their classmates’ habits in connection to social networks
  • TRANSFORM  the prompts into full sentences of advice using relevant structures (should/shouldn’t/had better/etc)
  • MAKE  a new poster with ideas on how to react to online malice (could be used in a bullying themed lesson)

The creator of this poster, Shannon of technologyrocksseriously.com, has also made it into a page of bookmarks so they can be easily shared with the students! Isn’t it a nice idea? You can find them here.
