      STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Think about pictures or videos or messages on social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, etc.) that made you think about or compare your own body.\u00a0 Now think about what you thought about your body.\u00a0 Were you encouraged and supported?\u00a0 Did it make you feel positive?\u00a0 Did it make you feel unhappy or negative?\u00a0 (You don\u2019t need to share this aloud.\u00a0 This is just your own analysis of how\/if social media has impacted your body image.)<\/li>\n
      2. Make a copy of this document<\/a> so that you can edit it.<\/li>\n
      3. As a class, we\u2019ll watch this video<\/a>.\u00a0 (FYI, it was made in Australia, so you\u2019ll hear them refer to Aussie children.)\u00a0 As you watch, record any negatives and positives (in their columns) about social media\u2019s effect on body image as you hear them mentioned in the video.\u00a0 You will use the document you just copied in your drive to record the positives and negatives.<\/li>\n
      4. In your groups of 5, share your list of positives and negatives.\u00a0 Many will probably overlap.\u00a0 Go around your group\u2019s circle and share.\u00a0 Your group\u2019s facilitator will let you know who will start. \u00a0 Your group\u2019s recorder will write the positives on green sticky notes and the negatives on pink sticky notes.\u00a0 If there is more than 1 person with the same positive or negative, it only needs to be written on a sticky note once, but please add a tally mark to the sticky note for each repeat.\u00a0 The group\u2019s communicator will help the recorder know what to write\/tally.\u00a0 Your group\u2019s materials organizer will draw a big T table on your big poster paper.\u00a0 He\/she will label one side positive and one side negative.\u00a0 He\/she will place the positive (green) sticky notes under the positive column & the pink\/negative sticky notes\u00a0 under the negative column.\u00a0 You have 5 minutes for this, so each person has 1 minute to share.\u00a0 The group\u2019s timekeeper will help keep everyone on track.\u00a0 (If someone is missing from your group today, I\u2019ll help you either reshuffle groups and\/or re-assign group tasks.)<\/li>\n
      5. Now you will look at 2 pieces of information to see if you can find any more positives and negatives around social media\u2019s impact on body image.\u00a0 As a group, you will pick 1 article or video from the negatives list and 1 article from the positives list.\u00a0 Please read or listen to the information together.\u00a0 When you come across something positive or negative around social media and body image, the recorder will jot it down (or put a tally mark on the sticky note if it is already one you have listed).\u00a0 Pink sticky notes are for the negative body image messages\/effects.\u00a0 Green sticky notes are for the positive body image\/effects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                5. Pick 1<\/strong> of these to read.\u00a0 Make sure to let your recorder know what to write on the sticky notes (and if it\u2019s positive\/green or negative\/pink) as you read.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      3. Again, the materials organizer will place the green sticky notes under the positive column and the pink sticky notes under the negative column.<\/li>\n
                      4. Now we will take a walk around the room to look at other groups\u2019 positive and negative T-charts.\u00a0 Be sure to read at least 3 red and 3 green sticky notes at each group.\u00a0 Note if any differ from your group\u2019s list.<\/li>\n
                      5. We have seen some of the positive and negative body image effects that social media can have.\u00a0 It is helpful to be aware that there can be negative effects.\u00a0 What can we do to curb negative effects and increase the positive effects?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
