In this lesson, students read and analyze the article “Social Media as Community” by Keith Hampton, in which the author argues that social media does not isolate individuals but actually creates deeper relationships among people. Building on skills developed in previous lessons, students work in pairs or small groups to read and analyze the article. Students add to their Pros and Cons Charts or their own organizing tools, recording the pros and cons related to screen time that they have gathered from the article “Social Media as Community.”
