Today, we read a series of articles and students wrote a personal response to the articles.
The articles were about FaceBook, and how some people think that FaceBook is causing children (and all people, really) to be more narcissistic. "Narcissistic" means self-centered, vain, arrogant. The word comes from a Greek myth about the man Narcissus.
The Myth of Narcissus
We read several articles and opinion pieces about this topic.
Facebook, MySpace, Twitter: Good or Bad for Kids' Brain?
Tween Tribune: Is the Problem Facebook or You?
Video: Are social networking sites making us more narcissistic?
Students who missed school today should read and view the above videos and articles. Then they should write a response to the articles. The topic is: Are social networking sites good or bad for teens? Your response should include an introduction and conclusion, and a bunch of body paragraphs in the middle that each focus on a reason why they are good or bad.
