Today you will practise what to do when something goes wrong online.
Pairs take turns at the front, in a 60-second challenge. Your teacher reads out a situation, and you have sixty seconds to say out loud what you would do, and in what order. Everyone else scores what the pair says, using four checks you will see next.
Every situation is made up, and the class scores what each pair says, not the pair themselves.
Harmful things online are not all the same, but you can always do something, and you never have to do it alone.
Listen for these four checks:
One of these must come before another, and the class will work out which one later.
When it is your pair's turn at the front:
When another pair is at the front, you score their response. Give it a tick or a cross in your notes for each of the four checks on the board. Write no names, because you are scoring the response.
Start with what you would not do. That is a real answer, and it often helps you think of the rest.
This step has one goal: as a class, agree what to do when something goes wrong online, and in what order.
First, score the answers. Look at your ticks and crosses. For each of the four checks, decide as a class how today's answers did overall: Not yet, Nearly or There. Your teacher marks it in the activity below. If a check is not at There, say what was missing, for example "nobody said who they would tell".
Put the four checks in order: which do you do first, second, third and last? One of them has to come before another. Think about what could happen to the messages if you block someone first, then say which comes first and why.
If there is time, one more question: if another card came in, who would you tell? Name someone who can help, such as your year head, or the school's own way of reporting.
