Hi, everyone! We're starting this cycle off with a unit about Social Networking. How do we use social media, and how are we affected by it? Social media has the power to influence our lives socially, academically and politically. In exploring this topic, we begin with an examination of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Is social media a force for good or ill when it comes to politics? Are we a better nation for having Facebook, Twitter and the like?
In preparation for our work on this unit, do the following, if you have missed our activities in class so far:
To find out more about "Occupy Wall Street," watch this video made by NYC public high school teenagers like yourselves. Here's the link for the video.
To understand some of the effects of social media, do this worksheet.
