This lesson invites students to use multiple forms of media, including their own Instagram accounts, to explore their on-line identities.  The lesson culminates in a personal, visual essay.  In the essay, students will use their own images as evidence. Then, students will reason about that evidence to compare what they see on their Instagram posts to their “real world” self. Using information from resources explored in class, students will include a discussion of “authenticity” and properly weave in quotes from those resources.

This lesson is targeted at students who have not yet started using social media, but will soon. It offers discussion questions to get them thinking, as well as, an activity you can use long-term within your classroom to build skills and community... even if you don't have devices.
