Section outline

  • Hi Everybody,

    I hope you are all doing well.  

    For this week, follow the Powerpoint on Mobile Phone Addiction up to slide #24.   You should have by now completed the homework from last week which was on slide #9 (the list on the benefits and drawbacks of using your mobile phone).  

    Tasks for this week - 

    #1:  Listen to “Cell Phone Addiction by young Tanner Welton” Ted Talk

    Then answer the question - Could you quit social media for even a week?  What are some of the key messages of the talk?

    Do the Cartoon Analysis section which ends on slide #24.  This is a fun exercise and you should learn about analyzing images at the same time.  Be sure to follow the S-A-M strategy of analyzing the cartoon images.  Feel free to share the slides with your parents and see if they agree with the key message.

    This is not a huge amount of work to do - and it should be fun and interesting!

    Take care of yourself, stay safe and listen to the advice of your parents!  If you have any questions for me - drop me an e-mail.  

    If you want to do extra work - pick up a physical book (as opposed to a computer) and read.  The #1 factor in determining your success at school is a high reading level.  Challenge yourself.  For every hour of playing video games - try reading for the same time!

    Best wishes,

    Mr Bartholomew
