Content

I can understand that treating myself kindly and respectfully in person and online will allow me to treat others in the same manner. 

Procedure

1. Students will log into Nearpod and they will join the “Screen out the Mean'' lesson.  In the introduction process, we will introduce the term Digital Citizenship.  

2. Once the students are logged into the lesson, we will proceed with the slides and discuss the importance of monitoring what you are saying/typing on the internet and in person.  

3. Students will have a discussion with their turn and talk partners to discuss some of the scenarios found in the slides.  We will discuss the impact that it could have on a person and the decision that could have been made to prevent that scenario.  

4. After completing the Nearpod, students will listen to the book, The Best Part of Me, which would be found in their Buncee account.  Students will listen to student reflections which were written in the book that reflects their personal opinions about themselves.  

5. There will be a group discussion to reflect on the writing in which the students produced in the text.  Students will then think about their body parts and which is the best part of them.  

6. Students will access their Buncee account and open the file that was sent to their classroom account.  Students will take a picture of the body part that they think is the best part of them using the Buncee camera feature.  On the second page, students will use the provided sentence stem to state which body part is their favorite and why.  Depending on the students abilities, length of sentences may vary. 

7. Student's will submit their Buncee’s to their teachers and it will then be transferred to the class Buncee Board.  

8. We will review how to provide feedback to our classmates using sentence stems.

9. Students will provide a comment to their classmates. We will also review the functionality of the emoji feature. (Sometimes students look more at the number of likes versus the actual comments. This will be a teachable moment to express that students sometimes get upset and compare the number of likes they have to others.  

10. Providing valuable feedback to classmates is a skill that will be used in future lessons.  

11. The teacher will print out the Buncees and create a Bulletin Board to showcase the student’s work.
