Spotlight on Digital Citizenship: Civil Discourse Online
Students will participate in an advisory lesson on civil discourse online this month. Students will hear from Cameron Kasky, Parkland school shooting survivor and March for Our Lives activist, on what he learned about civil discourse online and how to foster common ground with others, even in disagreement. Students will consider the following:
- What are some of the big takeaways from Cameron Kasky's story?
- What does Kasky say about debating with people who disagree with you? Do you agree?
