#IWILLHELP Discussion
- Did your partner make it easy for you or was it hard to follow their lead?
- Has anyone ever imitated something you were doing? If so what?
- Have you seen any fake sites or impersonation sites on social media? How do you or would you handle them?
- Who do you look up to as a role model? Who do you think looks up to you?
- Who in your family follows you on social media? In life?
- Who is the oldest person who follows you or who would you let follow you?
- Who is the youngest person who follows you or you would let follow you?
- Is there someone you don’t let follow you or would let follow you? Why?
- Do you feel like you are a good role model online? Offline?
Discussion Notes
- Go over how to report fake/hate accounts.
- Plug in your phone to projector to show how to report on all social platforms.
- There are real people who look at the reports and it only takes one person to report something but if multiple people report a page or post it will get taken down faster.
- Tag @ICANHELP or DM a screenshot to @ICANHELP for help as well.
Writing Extension
- Create a poster with bad posts and then turn them into a positive.
