• Students are given the following article https://www.unicef.org/bulgaria/en/stories/staying-safe-online . Learners will be asked to make predictions as to what the article is about by having a look at the title and picture. They will also be asked if they think the source is reliable and if the article is updated. 

• Learners will be encouraged to scan the text and complete the following photocopy in which they have to add the definition and the collocations of the terms that appear on the article. Learners will be encouraged to get the meaning of the words from the context, but if they find that challenging (especially finding the correct collocations), they will be allowed to use https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ 

What’s next

• Students are divided into groups of three in order to discuss the following questions: “Do you agree with the tips given by the article?” “What tip is the most important one?” “What other tips would you suggest adding?”

• Each team will later on use Powerpoint to create a presentation about the dos and don’ts of Internet Safety with ideas from the article and ideas of their own. Then, the following week, they can deliver this presentation to lower form students who are just starting to use the internet.
