What is Social Media?
A one hour-long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson that have been created for Year 5, but is suitable for use across KS2.
. In this lesson, the students will learn about the different forms of social media as well as the reasons why people are drawn to using it. We will discuss both the benefits and risks associated with social media platforms, as well as highlighting the implications of online safety laws including COPPA and the Online Safety Act 2023.
The lesson includes a starter activity, a task to assess the students’ prior knowledge, a card sorting task, a video clip activity, a creative task, and a review based plenary.
Created to match both the 2020 and the 2024 proposed statutory guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets. The lesson is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still editable should you wish to make amendments.
