What Should You Do?
Read each scenario aloud to your class. Then provide the question, “What Should You Do” and engage in an open conversation.
#1) I found a really cool website today while doing some research on a topic, but before I can use it they want me to sign up. They want my name, address, where I go to school? What should I do?
#2) You begin to receive Snapchats from a user you don’t recognize. This person claims to go to your school and seems to know a lot of information about your school and your classes that makes you believe him. After a bit, he begins to ask you questions about you and your friends. However, when you ask for the person’s name, he avoids the question. What should I do?

#3) While you were in Middle School, you wrote a blog post where you criticized one of your teachers for being mean to you in class. You claim the teacher was not fair in her grading and she insulted you in front of your classmates. Further in the post, you ridicule the teacher’s age, race, and physical appearance. Now, you are in university and you are applying for a highly competitive internship. During the interview, the interviewer brings out a copy of the blog post and questions you about it.
