Aim: 10 1. Students reflect on how they want to present themselves in social networks and how others might see them. |
 |
Target group: School class, pupils between 12 and 16 years old |
 |
Time: 3h, better would be dividing it on more days |
 |
Instructions: The workshop is divided in 3 different steps: 1) Warm Up 2) Group work and presentation of results 3)discussion/evaluation.1) Warm-Up: – Photo shoot with different materials (moustache, glasses, figs, hats, etc.); Question: how do you want to look like? Which image do you want to give? – After the photo shoot, other mates comment (prepared comments available or blank paper) or give a like (prepared “thumb up”) and stick it to the person – Sharing of experiences: Everybody says in one word/sentence what he/she wanted to express with the new look and how it was seen by the others2) Group work (differentiated learning): students can choose freely which small group they would like to attend. If there is one group many students want to join, it is possible that two small groups work on the same topic. If one group is of no interest for anyone, simply leave it out. – Create a fake profile: *Set up a blank profile; give login data to students who can spread the profile on social media with friends; they could also add things themselves * Only students of that group create a fake profile – Internet research about public figures who shared something and afterwards needed to deal with a “shitstorm” – Photo manipulation: workshop with a simple photo app (to be or to pretend to be) – Journalists: observe the other groups, take pictures, report about their progress After 1 hour, all groups come together again and every group presents their results. The journalists have the role to summarize first, groups add. 3) Discussion |
