Overview

What does it actually mean to "be yourself" or to "be real?" Those are deep thoughts for any middle-schooler. For kids today, these questions matter online, too. Help your students explore why some people create different or alternate personas for themselves online and on social media.

Students will be able to:

  • Reflect on the reasons why people might create fake social media accounts.
