Fails and rules



Fails

Kids' behaviour on Facebook is sometimes  offensive, certain images and comments may evoke considerable concern. Certain comments may be disturbing. There is also a tendency of stalking (sort of spying on each other's Facebook walls) which is definitely a waste of time. Unfortunately girls tend to upload sexually explicit pictures of themselves, they are just not aware of the possible results of their actions.
You can educate students about that by simply discussing what these pictures suggest.
That is an area teens need our guidance.
After discussing these issues you may give your learners tasks with a language aim.

Ask one student (or more) to draw a picture of a typical fail profile picture.
The person depicted will be serve as a fictional character for these activities.

Students may write letters to a Facebook misuser suggesting that they should change their behaviour. (Alternative to  coursebooks’ agony aunt type of tasks to practise giving advice.)

They can also write (collaborative) stories that may be the results of a Facebook fail. Pictures and fails (memes spreading on the Internet) might be story prompts.

E.g.
Anna (14) uploaded this picture on Facebook one day. 


Stalking

Explain or discuss why Facebook stalking is a bad thing. (In L1 if necessary.)
Students may compile instructional materials to explain why it is a waste of time. (Do’s an don’ts, info-graphics, etc.)

They can as well create instructional shareables other than written things:
videos, sound, slides, talking pictures, etc.
