A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Review misinformation, privacy and freedom of expression. No learner needs to reveal passwords, account details or private online experiences.
- List a benefit and a risk, then develop each with an everyday example.
- Write about a frequently used service and the hypothetical loss of the internet. Use would for imagined consequences.
- Use page 2's models to check how reasons and qualifications support opinions; revise an answer about limits or control.
Support and extension
Offer In some cases... and On the other hand... for balanced answers. An optional extension is comparing two uses of the internet, not just time spent online. The models are discussion examples, not a researched digital-safety guide or a fixed screen-time recommendation.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
