1. “Oh, Snap! Is Snapchat Safe for Teens”

 

Snapchat™ is a popular app among teenagers, and my middle school students choose this app over any other one. However, many worry if it is safe for teens to use. I thought I would turn something the kids love into a learning experience and a teachable moment! What student would not love to write about social media?!?!

 

I wrote a three-page article about the safety of Snapchat™ and teenage usage, and it observes both sides of the argument about the app-why teens love the app, as well as the concerns. This product includes both a higher- and lower-level article for differentiation purposes. Included with the article are reading comprehension questions for both levels, as well as argument writing extension activities and worksheets.
