Social Media Discussion Prompts and Pause Points

Social Media Discussion Prompts and Pause Points

Before the Movie

Do you use social media? If so, how do you use it? If not, why not?

During the Movie (Pause Points)

Stop at the following times in the movie and ask questions or prompt a discussion to keep students focused and to assess their understanding before moving on:

Timecode 2:27: How do social media platforms collect data for their network? 

Timecode 2:45: In what ways do these platforms target their users? 

Timecode 4:41: What is one consequence of oversharing on the internet? 

After the Movie

What advice would you give to a friend before they post something on the internet? 

What are some benefits of social media? What are some drawbacks?

 

BrainPOP recommends reading  the movie description that appears on the Social Media Topic Page to your class. Then show the movie once through without pausing.  Watch it again, this time using the discussion prompts.

*BrainPOP’s Discussion Questions and Prompts align to CCSS Speaking and Listening Standards.
