Steps for the Activity

1. Come up with three statements that introduce essential themes. For example:

   • Only adults are concerned with online safety.
   • Activity online is mostly negative to my future.
   • Parental controls remove most risk for youth online.
   • Kids shouldn't have access to social media until they are at least 16 years of age and are aware of risks.
   • Kids should be allowed to access the web at school.
   • Implementing digital and web literacy practices into our daily routines can help keep everyone safer.

2. Place post its with the numbers one to ten written on them in a line on the floor or wall. Leave enough space for people to separate along the line.

3. Explain the activity to the participants: You will read a statement and if they completely agree with that statement, they should stand near the number 10. If they completely disagree, they should stand near the number 1. Those whom somewhat agree would stand at number 5. Tell the participants that they can change their minds based on what other participants say.

4. Read the first statement and once participants have divided themselves along the line, ask someone why they are standing where they are standing. Use the activity to begin a discussion and debate on the essential themes of the day.
