At the age of 13, children can legally create their own social media accounts on giants such as Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter without parental permission. If your child isn't already on social media, he or she might be soon. As such, it is important for your young teens to be familiar with the pitfalls of social media use.
In this project, students research two topics related to social media. They check their sources for reliability, then write a blog in which they give facts that they have learned through their research as well as their own opinions on the subject, making sure to cite their sources in proper MLA format. At the conclusion of the project, students will view and comment on each other's blogs in order to gain a greater understanding of the issues surrounding social media use.
